Hi
I have a field called "Start Time" where I can write the time
The format set for the field is Hour HH.MM
In the field I wrote 10:00 which becomes 10.00
I wrote this function in the console, but the result is not correct
var StartTime = this.getField("Start Time").value;
util.printd("hh.mm",new Date(StartTime));

result 12.01

Please can someone help me find my mistake?

You can't create a new Date object from just a time, it's not enough. I don't understand why you want to use printd at all, though. Just copy the value directly. If needed, change the colon to a period, like this:

event.value=StartTime.replace(":", ".");

The format setting only changes what the value of the field looks like, not the actual value.
If you enter "10:00" that's the value you will get when accessing the field's value (or valueAsString) property.

Okay
But what should I write to have the same result in the "Start time" field and in the "text1" field, where I insert the function
var StartTime = this.getField("Start time").value;
event.value=util.printd("hh:mm",new Date(StartTime)); ?
I ask this because, if I write 10:00 in the "Starting time" field, 10.00 appears and the "text1" field where I entered the formula shows 12.01
I would like the same value as the "Start time" field to appear in the "text1" field as well
