Billboard display date and time

I want to display date and time using billboard.

However, when I click "Use Default Format" or "Custom Format", the billboard can't show anything.

There is the same situation if I use text to show date and time.

How can I modify the code?

I would guess that this is caused by a different language setting of your operating system.

You could try to use dateTime.toString() to get the date and time in a custom format. Its a single line in the code editor of the text display option.
