When I enter 12:30 PM in a time field with the format (h:MM tt) the values are converted to 0:30 AM. Does anyone have any idea why this happens?

"@JR BoulayIt should still show as 12:30 pm if that's what he enters."

So, you must remove the Date Format.

No date format. Time format of h:MM tt should accept 12:30 pm

I set up a time field, with format h:MM tt 

It accepts 12:30 pm fine. Creating and testing in Acrobat Pro 2022.003.20322.

I wonder if regional/system date settings make a difference? Mine are set to the default for UK.

This is pure logic.
There is no such thing as 12:30 PM, or 13:30 PM, or 12:30 AM.

You can't use 24:30 either.

Do you have any other scripts that could affect format in that field?

Try to test in on a new field.
