Time Overrides My Entry and Puts Current Time Instead

I have a form with a time box. When open in Adobe reader, you can enter whatever time you want, am or pm. When you open the form in a browser (company uses Edge, also happened in Chrome), it overrides anything you type and inserts current time instead. I have a standard time setting selected, nothing custom is being used. How do I allow manual entry when using in a browser and stop it from overriding with the current time?

Do not use Edge or Chrome as a PDF form editor. Neither is a proper PDF viewer.

For me it doesn't overrides the content with the current time.

What browser are you using to edit the form? Can you share what your settings/options look like?

Thanks! I've been instructing the team to use Adobe Reader but wanted to confirm if there was/wasn't a fix for editing in a browser.
