The metadata settings are date format and time format, not format date and format time. https://docassemble.org/docs/initial.html#date%20format

A datatype: time field defines a datetime.time object. https://docassemble.org/docs/fields.html#time

Thus when the object is reduced to text, the textual representation depends on the datetime package, which doesn't know anything about docassemble or docassemble's metadata settings.

The metadata setting time format is used when format_time() is called without a format parameter.

metadata:
  date format: dd.MM.YYYY
  time format: HH.mm
