Hello,
I am creating a form for an event space, where the form has a date & time picker using this method (using Custom Element to create a field with the “type=time” attribute). However, when the form is submitted, the time listed in the entry is in military time, as shown here:
Is there a way to change this to the standard format?

Interesting method but you’re at the mercy of the browser.
I’m not aware of any form-data-formatting capabilities on those fields.
You may be able to rememdy that with Javascript, or, I’d probably use a library like Flatpickr.
As @memetican mentioned there are JS libs but you only would like to do that to force people read format they do not prefer!
It is all about computer system setting. When you change on your computer time to 12h mode the WF input give you am/pm automatically. Try it. The beauty is that people can see or choose what they prefer or what is "standard for them.
BTW what you are calling “the standard time format” is used only in 14 countries from 195 everywhere else is what you call a “military time” that is useful eg. in submarines as they have not a clue if is above sun or moon. Just useless info.
