DateTime Tool Appears not to be able to convert 3 digits in seconds

Hello Community,

I have a JSON that has at JSON_StringValue where the seconds has three digit e.g. 1:16:702. 

The time element in the DataTime tools suppports the following HH:mm:ss. 

 

As a result my workflow fails with the following error:

 

ConvError: DateTime (5): Time_Out: Cannot convert "1:16.702" to a date/time with format "%H:%M:%S" and language "English": Expected separator ':%S', got: '.702'

 

Can someone let me know how to convert the ss to 2 digits. Alternatively, is there someway to support 3 digits.

 

I have attached the workflow with sample data

Hi @carltonp ,

 

Based on your example (1:16.702), I doubt that 702 represents seconds as seconds can go up until 60 before the make up 1 minute.

 

Rather I believe it's milliseconds, so 1:16.702 is 1 minute, 16 seconds and 702 milliseconds. Is this possible you believe given your data?

 

In case it is milliseconds, I've put together a workflow that hopefully helps you answer your question
