I am trying to display a datetime column with milliseconds, but I can't get the formatting right, so it seems.
This shows the current time nicely with milliseconds:
scriptColData.value = DOpus.Create().Date();
This works with normal seconds:
scriptColData.value = DOpus.Create().Date('20010203 12:34:56');
I expected this to work, but it didn't:
scriptColData.value = DOpus.Create().Date('20010203 12:34:56.789');
function OnInit(initData) {
initData.name = 'CurrentTime';
initData.version = '2021-04-21';
initData.copyright = '';
initData.url = 'https://resource.dopus.com';
initData.desc = '';
initData.default_enable = true;
initData.min_version = '12.0';
}
function OnAddColumns(addColData) {
var col = addColData.AddColumn();
col.name = 'CurrentTime';
col.label = 'CurrentTime';
col.header = 'CurrentTime';
col.justify = 'right';
col.type = 'datetime';
col.autogroup = true;
col.method = 'OnColumn';
}
function OnColumn(scriptColData) {
// scriptColData.value = DOpus.Create().Date(); // works with milliseconds!
// scriptColData.value = DOpus.Create().Date('20010203 12:34:56'); // works!
scriptColData.value = DOpus.Create().Date('20010203 12:34:56.789');
}

I haven't checked if the format in your Date('...') works but if you add .Format('', 'M') at the end, you get milliseconds, e.g. .Date().Format('t', 'M')

This is what I get. The milliseconds are missing
But they are there when I use the Date()
method:
The problem seems to be with the parameter for DOpus' own Date() constructor; not sure if it's a bug or not. I've tried several notations, none but 1 worked. This one is ugly but it works.

Milliseconds weren't supported in time/datetime strings there, but we'll make that work in the next beta.

That change is in the beta released today: Directory Opus 12.24.1 (Beta)
Is there something wrong with my format coding for str2? Given the "M" flag I would expect to see milliseconds appended to the 24 hour format.

Probably.
If you wish for milliseconds to be included, begin the time format with an M (capital-m) character. For example, {time|MHH:mm:ss} will return a time similar to "08:45:32.021".

Good grief. I actually read that link before posting but evidently missed the most relevant part of the instructions. Thanks @lxp for pointing out what should have been evident.

is there a way to add milliseconds to the runtime colum in movies?

I don't think this column has a millisecond resolution. It could be calculated based on frame rate and count.
