Hi @DevtoSME ,

Unfortuantely, it won't be possible as of now.

Hello @DevtoSME 

To display date/time fields in a 12-hour AM/PM format, follow these steps:

1. Update System Property:

   • Navigate to the sys_properties table.
   • Locate the system property glide.sys.time_format.
   • Change its value to hh:mm a.

     

   This update will configure the date and time fields to use a 12-hour format with an AM/PM suffix.

2. Portal Reflection:

   • The changes will be reflected in the portal, ensuring users see the 12-hour AM/PM format.

3. User Preferences Limitation:

   • While this change updates the time format, the 12-hour AM/PM option may not appear under the "Language and Region" section in the Preferences tab. This is a limitation in the current setup.

Result:

               

Hope this helps!
