'Due Date' & 'Date' fields that include a 'Time' display format options is too long

The current display format of 'Due Date' & 'Date' fields that include a 'Time' is to long.
Current format: Tue, Mar 19 at 7:30AM
Is there a possibility of shortening the format options to look like this:
Proposed
format: Tue, Mar 19, 7:30amRemarks
- The Proposedformat removes the word 'at' (which is unnecessary) and changes the AM/PM to am/pm.
- The Proposedformat looks cleaner, less cluttered and will fit better under a Title Field or whenever we place a Date Field that includes a 'Time'.
**The screenshot below is the current 'Date' Format display, which is too long, cluttered and unnecessary.

I would like the option of whether or not you want to add the time to a date

Hello Galen Ash! I have a few more questions for you:
- Can you provide more context on how the current format is affecting your usage of the product?
- Are there any other areas in the product where you would like to see this proposed format applied?
- Do you have any preferences for the display format when the time is in the afternoon or evening (PM)?

Hello Jon
Thanks for the quick reply.
1) The current format is not having any negative impact on the usage of SmarteSuite.
1a) Many of us are individual users and are setting SmartSuite up as a full blown Personal Daily, Weekly, Monthly and Yearly Planner for Events, Work Schedule, Tasks, To-dos, Chores, Reminders etc...
1b) Because we are referencing many 'Due Dates' or 'Dates' with 'Times' included in the field, space real estate on each record is important.
**When I am on my smart phone, display space is very limited, so reducing unnecessary words or characters makes the interface look cleaner and less cluttered, this easier to read.
Example: Tue, Mar 19, 7:30a ( the 'at' is removed )
(Instead of Tue, Mar 19 at 7:30AM)
2) I believe that 'Due Date' & 'Date' fields that include a 'Time' beside the date are the only two fields that are affected.
2a) 'Date Range' is not affected because there is no associated 'Time' beside it.
3) In terms of preferences for AM/PM after the 'Time', having the option to choose the following would be great:
- a / p 7:30a / 7:30p
- am / pm 7:30am / 7:30pm
- AM / PM 7:30PM / 7:30PM
