"Hello everyone,

I’m wondering if it’s possible to display time in a 24-hour format rather than the standard 12-hour format (AM/PM) in a time text edit field. Any insights on how to achieve this would be appreciated.  
Thank you!

Hello @JustineC and welcome to our community!

When you notice that the browser is displaying time in the AM/PM format, it’s typically a reflection of the user’s browser settings, specifically their locale preference, which favors the 12-hour clock over the 24-hour format. See [here](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input/time) for more details.

Unfortunately, there’s no direct method to override this. However, as a workaround, you might consider utilizing the [date & time picker](https://docs.appfarm.io/library/ui-components/date-and-time-picker) instead.

Should you have any more questions or need further assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
