v8.1.5

I’ve set my `timeAxis.tick.label.format` = `HH:mm`, however the datetime picker still shows 12-hr time

I don't believe the `timeAxis.tick.label.format` property is supposed to drive the format of the picker - that property just formats the labels based on the selected time. Even the documentation makes no mention of using that property for anything other than the labels. I'll reach out to Dev and see if the intention was for that property to have any effect on the picker.

are there any solution to this, is it possible to change from am/pm format into 24h format in the datetime picker in powerchart?
