<p>In Craft 3 if you use a <a href="https://docs.craftcms.com/v3/date-time-fields.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">DateTime field</a> and have it set to time only, it still displays as a date in the Control Panel with no time. </p>

<p>Even if it is used as a date and time field, just like entry post date it will only display time if it's on the current day.</p>

<p>Is there a way to modify this format to include the time in the control panel display? </p>

(Asked by: username_0 on 2018-07-19)

In Craft 3 if you use a [DateTime field](https://docs.craftcms.com/v3/date-time-fields.html) and have it set to time only, it still displays as a date in the Control Panel with no time.

Even if it is used as a date and time field, just like entry post date it will only display time if it's on the current day.

Is there a way to modify this format to include the time in the control panel display?
