800xA AC800m PM856: time_to_string function does not work - It ignores the "formatstring" input?
The function time_to_string ignores the "formatstring" input and gives an output in the format of '1d1h3m5s23ms' regardless. What is going on?

It is a bug in the Function Diagram Editor.
Try to use Structured Text or FBD instead for this, and refer the Product Bulletin: 3BSE081800D0051 Function Diagram: Always Default Format When Converting to String Variable
Name Format/Rule Parameter Default Value
date_and_time_to_string formatstring YYYY-MM-DD-HH:MI:SS.TTT
time_to_string formatstring DHMST
dint_to_string base 10 (decimal notation)
int_to_string base 10 (decimal notation)
uint_to_string base 10 (decimal notation)
Table1 System Functions always using default value of formatstring and base.
