Format time to 12 hour

Question

Hi everyone,

I have a survey123 feeding a feature layer that I am using in a web map. Two of the questions are time questions, but they submit to the survey as 24 hour time. I am trying to use arcade to change the format to a 12 hour format, but the expression I think should be working isn't.

when I use

Time($feature.StartTime, 'h:mm A') I get the return of null. If I don't have the formatting, I get the 24 hour time returned. Am I doing something wrong, or is there an issue with this function?

Oh sheesh. I forgot the closing quotation on line 11. Should be 'AM'.

That's really odd. I use Arcade this way all the time without issues. Does it let to attempt to run the code, or does it insist there's a problem?

Try adding Console(the_hour) above line 8, see if it sends anything to the console.

Fingers crossed this will work - just getting the weird issue with arcade having invalid variables.
