3707541 - Time Field display discrepancy in View Mode and Edit Mode on Latest People Profile within Japanese locale- SuccessFactors HCM Core 2511

Time fields display inconsistently across View Mode and Edit Mode in PPX within Japanese locale.

• In View mode, the time field is displayed as HH:MM:ss format (e.g., 18:01:00 and 23:01:00).
• In Edit mode, the time field is displayed as HH:mm:ss format (e.g., 18:00:00 and 23:00:00).

1. Login to a Japanese instance and go to PPX
2. Check a custom MDF which have a custom time field and click View ALL
3. The time field is showing as 18:01:00 with View mode.
4. However in Edit and History mode under PPX, the Time field is showing as 18:00:00 

The format pattern is, COMMON_TimeFormat. In 2511, for Japanese locale this pattern is defined as HH:MM:ss, where the uppercase 'M' is for 'Month'. The correct character would be a lowercase 'm' for minutes. This improper pattern is causing the minutes to be wrong.

Our engineer team has already identified this issue and finalized the fix, which will be implemented in the 2605 Release. Date of the release period: 

• Preview: 2026 April-13
• Production: 2026 May 15 - 16 

For a workaround, Admin can go into Manage Languages, and update the COMMON_TimeFormat string for Japanese locale to be, such as HH:mm:ss.
