Appian Community and Appian Academy are being upgraded. From July 24–August 3, the Appian Community will be in read-only mode. During this time, the site will be read-only and user registration will be disabled. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but a more secure, stable, and performant Community experience is coming soon!
The new Appian Community launches August 3, followed by Appian Academy on August 7. During the migration, Appian Community Edition, Appian Academy, Documentation, Certifications, Instructor-led Customer Training, Partner Sales Training & Accreditation, and Forum (for Appian Partners and Customers only) will remain available.
How can I have the user enter a datetime including seconds in Appian? The date & time input control does not allow me to enter seconds (it clears the entire date/time value when I try)
How can I display the datetime back to the user with the seconds? I do not see any display formatting for the date & time control.
It seems odd that this is not built-in... or if it is then I'm odd because I cannot find it.

To display the date time with seconds, you can use text() function. But for capturing, can you tell me the use case you are trying to solve/work on where you need to capture even the seconds that too by letting the user input it?
I do not have a particular use-case in mind here. I am exploring what Appian can and cannot do compared to another tool to identify any potential issues. Appian is the first tool I have encountered that does not display the full timestamp by default and I was very surprised when it would not even allow me to enter seconds in the datetime control.
Hey, You can use text(now(),"DD/MM/YYYY HH:MM:SS AM/PM"). here now() is your date&Time. Basically, we are using this seconds part to store the value into DB like createdOn or UpdatedOn just to get the latest data based on it.
