Hello, my observations saved on my Survey123 form appear to have accurate local date and time information when I look at the form online, however once I export the data as a SHP file and load it into ArcGIS Pro, only the date is preserved (all time is defaulted to midnight). Is there any explanation or solution for this? Thanks.

Shapefile limitations will explain it.

Geoprocessing considerations for shapefile output | ArcGIS Pro documentation

Date fields only support date; they do not support time.

Caution:
The lack of support for time in date fields is a serious limitation for any tool that performs temporal analysis.
