Does anyone have recommendations to combine a date and a time into one column?

Issue: I was utilizing the template column to combine date and time, but I am encountering errors if you are using the app in a different language.

Here is an example: I created a reservation on Dec. 8 at 10:30 AM. If I have the English version, it works, but when I move to Spanish, it doesn’t.

Do you recommend I use a different computed column instead of the template? I also tried JS, but for some reason, it doesn’t read the dates in Spanish.

Is there a reason you don’t use the date & time component to store the info? As I understand you’re having the date in 1 column and the time in another column?

Hi @ThinhDinh ! I did it this way because my booking app determines the slot based on a specific hour, which is why I split it into two. I found that the solution was to change the date format from large to short. It looks like the calendar component reads it differently depending on the formatting! Thanks for your reply!

Thanks for sharing, that’s a weird behaviour.
