We have a table with a column with data type TIME. The intention is that users fill in how many hours:minutes a certain activity was performed on that day, so a duration, not a point in time. We are using the control type "time short".
This has so far never been a problem, on Windows and on Universal for users with Dutch system settings. However, now we have international users where the control shows a choice between AM/PM. This is obviously very confusing for them.
I don’t think there is a way to set this specific control to be the same for all users regardless of system settings. And it would be a lot of work to rework data type to custom hours and minutes columns.
My idea is to add another control for the TIME data type which represents a time duration, i.e. does not show AM /PM.
On another note, the timeshort control version without AM/PM behaves as a somewhat annoying text field (Universal GUI version 2026.1.12.0.0). I think the AM/PM version is more user friendly. If the same hour and minute selection would be used that would be nice.
