Date/Time column displays seconds if I apply JSON inlineEditField formatting

[FSomers]

Hello, 

I have two date/time columns. They must continue to display as below: 

Due to OPO internal name is DuetoOPO

Requestor Due date internal name is DueDate

We would like to use inlineEditField so users can just click to update due date times.

If I apply this JSON: 

{
  "$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/v2/column-formatting.schema.json",
  "elmType": "div",
  "inlineEditField": "[$DuetoOPO]",
  "txtContent": "[$DuetoOPO]"
}

SharePoint displays the seconds after the due date.  How can I format so it will only show the date and time with HH:mm after applying the inlineEditField JSON??

Try the following, which works in my testing. Different countries may have different results.

{
  "$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/v2/column-formatting.schema.json",
  "elmType": "div",
  "inlineEditField": "@currentField",
  "txtContent": "@currentField"
}

If that does not work for you, we can manually build a formatted date/time string.

Good luck!

Don

Don, thank you thank you thank you! I'm very new with JSON and have managed to fumble my way into a bunch of things and sometimes it's the simplest ones that give me trouble. This works perfectly, so appreciate it!!!
