Is there some formatting variable that sets the time string returned
by org-time-stamp-inactive?
reddit / emacs

`org-time-stamp-inactive` - `C-u C-c !` returns a string of the form
`2022-05-04 Sat 16:21` but I want to change it to `2022-05-04 16:21
Sat`, which means I can trim the last 4 characters to make it
arithmetic and database compatible OOTB.

Can it be configured to remove the day  string?

If you just want to use Org's UI for timestamp input in arbitrary
places, here's the snippet

    (format-time-string "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M"
       (org-read-date t t nil))
