Prefill time in form

Dashboard
1

Hello.

I have a simple form with time. When i enter my time, lets say 04:15 i get the following:
1970-01-01T03:15:00.000Z

My research here revealed that this is normal and is the unix time. There are ways to format the time.
What i am now trying to do is just simply refill the timefield with my entered time (unixtime). When i do so (see flow) my timefield has this wired appearance: 04:14:00:000.

What do i miss?

Thank you

To refill the form when submitting just feed it back to the input, to prefill the form from saved context on connect or tab change, use a switch to make sure the tab name is correct then reload the saved form data.
e.g.

[{"id":"74b307874a68f9fb","type":"ui_ui_control","z":"65617ffeb779f51c","name":"","events":"all","x":120,"y":3900,"wires":[["ac44d8a5d86e2ec2"]]},{"id":"ac44d8a5d86e2ec2","type":"switch","z":"65617ffeb779f51c","name":"","property":"name","propertyType":"msg","rules":[{"t":"eq","v":"SETTINGS","vt":"str"}],"checkall":"true","repair":false,"outputs":1,"x":270,"y":3900,"wires":[["6723ad92c82017ae"]]},{"id":"6723ad92c82017ae","type":"change","z":"65617ffeb779f51c","name":"","rules":[{"t":"set","p":"payload","pt":"msg","to":"saveform","tot":"flow"}],"action":"","property":"","from":"","to":"","reg":false,"x":440,"y":3900,"wires":[["72b8b15bd5b75057","71784990fb788671"]]},{"id":"72b8b15bd5b75057","type":"ui_form","z":"65617ffeb779f51c","name":"","label":"","group":"0c8e5477df738067","order":2,"width":0,"height":0,"options":[{"label":"time","value":"time","type":"time","required":true,"rows":null}],"formValue":{"time":""},"payload":"","submit":"submit","cancel":"cancel","topic":"topic","topicType":"msg","splitLayout":"","className":"","x":570,"y":3940,"wires":[["4aee33864945dbc9","a59053bdadb650d1"]]},{"id":"71784990fb788671","type":"debug","z":"65617ffeb779f51c","name":"debug 247","active":true,"tosidebar":true,"console":false,"tostatus":false,"complete":"true","targetType":"full","statusVal":"","statusType":"auto","x":530,"y":3840,"wires":[]},{"id":"a59053bdadb650d1","type":"change","z":"65617ffeb779f51c","name":"save","rules":[{"t":"set","p":"saveform","pt":"flow","to":"payload","tot":"msg"}],"action":"","property":"","from":"","to":"","reg":false,"x":390,"y":3940,"wires":[["72b8b15bd5b75057"]]},{"id":"4aee33864945dbc9","type":"debug","z":"65617ffeb779f51c","name":"debug 49","active":true,"tosidebar":true,"console":false,"tostatus":false,"complete":"false","statusVal":"","statusType":"auto","x":740,"y":3980,"wires":[]},{"id":"0c8e5477df738067","type":"ui_group","name":"Monitoring-Email","tab":"7dfaa34bd3fad2fd","order":2,"disp":true,"width":"6","collapse":false,"className":""},{"id":"7dfaa34bd3fad2fd","type":"ui_tab","name":"SETTINGS","icon":"dashboard","order":4,"disabled":false,"hidden":false}]

thank you very much,

your flow is more elegant than mine!

Have you an idea how to get rid of strange pre/refill format of the time 04:15:00.000?

Not seeing the issue, are you running the latest version of dashboard?
Using chrome android.

my dashboard version is 3.4.0.

Interesting. When i am using firefox i get this strange timepattern.

But when i use chrome for example, the time is displayed correct.

thank you
