CurrentTime variable
August 3, 2017 12:00 AM
I double checked the forum and didn't see anything that addresses this particular issue.
According to the description, the CurrentTime variable should display the time in "hh:mm AM/PM" format. However, when I set a text box to pull the variable, all I'm getting is the hh:mm.
I'm still running on 16, so can't speak to whether the behavior is the same in 17. "Worst" case scenario I use JS to get and format the time how I want it to appear.

Hi Jason,
I just tried this in 16.2.2 and it displayed 5:40 PM for me when I previewed it in IE 11, Chrome, and FireFox. But I do see the issue you mentioned if I only use Run Mode.
hh:mm AM/PM is supposed to be the default format, but you can change the format in Preferences > Publish Strings. It's the very last one in the list of strings.
I'll make sure to check that string before I publish and test. I meant to post again before I left work for the day to note that I realized it was just in Run mode, but fine in the browser. I'm capturing the time a learner starts the course, as they need it for an activity later on.
