Entries in a calendar view show as AM. When I view the detail screen, they show as PM. When I go to Edit, they are AM. When I changed to PM and save, for a moment they stay as PM, but once Glide applies the correct time format, they switch back to AM.

Here’s a video showing it happening (it might need to process before you can watch it)

Or here’s the download link:

Also, when I check the spreadsheet, the time correctly shows PM there.

I do have the spreadsheet set with the correct locale and timezone.

Thanks

I think the problem here is that Glide can’t read the time format you set in your spreadsheet. Could you maybe just try removing the colon between the time and `AM`/`PM`?

Thanks. Nice pick up, Mark! That fixed it. Can I make the Calendar view show the am/pm instead of 24hr time?

Thanks

I think the time is displayed based on your local country locale. I changed my browser from English (US) to English (UK) and the formatting of the date in the calendar changes based on my browsers locale.

Thanks, Jeff. That seems to have helped. I didn’t notice any change at first, but today it was displaying right.
