Hello.
Finally, we have found the cause of the issue.
It was browser specific. The fix will be available in our next build on Friday.
Thank you.

Seems to have fixed the DateTime issue, but if I have a field I just want to display the time as without a date its ignoring ToString("hh:mm tt"). Shows correct in IE and Safari but not Chrome, assuming its another browser specific issue.
For instance:
If I want to display 11:00 AM, its displaying 11:00:00, I've tried Text Format as Time, Date, Custom, various combinations of that with ToString and nothing works.
I can probably get around this for now but curious if my findings are correct or if I'm doing it wrong.

The difference in yours vs mine (possibly, not sure what else you tested) is that yours is calling a system variable (Time), mine starts with a JSON datasource var which will be
{
...
"DateTime" : "2017-01-23 13:30:00"
...
}
Your method works in all browsers BUT Chrome, it also works in the Designer, I'm just saying it doesn't work in Chrome and I don't think I have the means to workaround that or fix.
Text Format is set to General, Type in the DataSource Dictionary is set to DateTime, Text Expression is {.....ToString("hh:mm tt")}
Chrome Version 55.0.2883.95 (64-bit)

Update: Not sure if it was loaded initially on cache but now my report I was reporting about seems to be now applying the custom format. I will monitor it and let you know if it returns.
For the record, setting the data field type to datetime and using a custom text format of "hh:mm tt" seems to work.
