Date and hour format with seconds

Question

this date and hour format should work: %d/%m/%Y %k:%M:%S but I'm not getting the seconds: 17/02/2021 9:15:%S

Is %S compatible in CiviCRM?

Answer 1

Normally, (custom) date formatting in civicrm is handled by this function:

https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/blob/master/CRM/Utils/Date.php#L300

You'll see at about line 410 that there's no substitution for seconds.

Sounds like a not-very-difficult feature waiting to be added.
