Cannot preload Time field in Dashboard form

Dashboard

I'm trying to preload the Time field of a node red dashboard ui form using the incoming msg, like so:

What I'm feeding into the form is the exact output of itshelf, when submiting new values, for example:

msg.payload = {
    formDate: "2021-08-10T19:24:42.854Z", // Works
    formTime: "1970-01-01T20:26:00.000Z" // Does not work
}
return msg;

The date field initializes, but the time field does not.

Am I missing something? Thanks!

I have tested and confirmed... no apparent way to dynamically load in a time field.

Submitting this gets this...

Feeding this back via function node get this...

It does seem strange that the submitted time output is using the 1970-01-02 date instead of current.

And I think this git-hub issue is referring to the same thing as this topic issue.

Oh, also... (default) label and data format is backwards... but data format probably also depends on region?

So, I guess we need to wait for the fix..

It does not seem to depend on region. It is mm/dd/yyyy. Ι did not find any obvious way to change it.

It does depend on language settings I think... mine is

(the smaller text above is set by the label so is under your control)

I have a fix for the time input in the v3 branch on github. Not quite ready for release.
