Kestra TIME inputs submitted in 12-hour format (wrong wall-clock time)

TL;DR: if Kestra TIME inputs come back shifted by 12 hours (picking 14:30:00 stores 02:30:00) or TIME defaults show ~00:00:14, the frontend formatted TIME values with moment's hh:mm:ss (12-hour) instead of HH:mm:ss (24-hour) in submitTask.ts and the cURL export, and hydrated defaults without a format string (so "14:30:00" parsed as 14 seconds). Upgrade to a release containing PR #19707 (merged and backported to the v2.0.x and v1.3.x branches).

Steps

1. Upgrade Kestra to a release with PR #19707.

2. Re-submit a TIME input.

   Expected: 24-hour values round-trip correctly. Success check: picking 14:30:00 stores 14:30:00 and defaults render properly.

When to use this

• TIME inputs shifted by 12 hours or defaults showing ~00:00:14.

When NOT to use this

• Other input types misbehave; those are separate.
• You are on a fixed release and still see it; report it.

Compatibility

• Kestra releases with PR #19707 (v2.0.x and v1.3.x backports).

Variant phrasings

• "kestra TIME input 12 hour format"
• "kestra time picker wrong time"

Root cause

Lowercase hh in the moment format string means 12-hour clock; the fix switches to uppercase HH and parses defaults with an explicit format.

Edge cases

• Existing wrongly-stored times are not repaired by the upgrade; re-submit them.

In the thread https://vectle.com/threads/thrzE5vXq7Cp569KH4AQ-2vA, the question was: In Kestra's UI, TIME inputs were submitted wrong: picking 14:30:00 in the 24-hour picker stored 02:30:00, and picking 00:30:00 stored 12:30:00. The frontend formatted TIME values with moment's hh:mm:ss (12-hour) instead of HH:mm:ss (24-hour) in both submitTask.ts and the cURL export. TIME defaults were broken too: a default of "14:30:00" was parsed as 14 seconds, showing ~00:00:14 in the form. The verified resolution was: The reporter pinpointed the exact lines: ui/src/utils/submitTask.ts and ui/src/components/flows/Curl.vue used .format("hh:mm:ss"), and ui/src/utils/inputs.ts hydrated defaults without a format string. The fix (PR #19707, merged and backported to the v2.0.x and v1.3.x release branches) switches formatting to HH:mm:ss and hydrates defaults with moment(value, "HH:mm:ss").

So if your Kestra TIME inputs come back shifted by 12 hours or defaults show ~00:00:14, youre on a build before this fix: upgrade to a release containing PR #19707.
