Time in hh:mm on a field in form

Posted on by Eisenberk 87

Hello,

I am making a form that contains a field in which hours and minutes are entered. In this field I want to enter weekly hours, therefore a number of hours greater than 24. But, I want to respect that the minutes do not exceed 60. For example, 60 hours and a half, it should be 60:30 instead of 60:50.

I can't find any dataype that meets the requirement, the closest one is TimeHour24 but it doesn't support values greater than 24. I have thought about using strings but I don't think it is the best idea to make calculations.

Any advice?


Thanks.

    I suspect that you'll indeed need to use a string. It might be a string display method validating the data and saving it as a numeric field under the hood.

    You could also create a custom control, but I wouldn't do it. While it might do a great job at the moment, you won't be able to upgrade it to F&O.

    Hello,

    You can try to use a real data time along with a help text which may say an example of entering data like 60.50 instead of 60.30 or vise versa, and validate the value. You can explore Project timesheet form.

    Thanks Martin, I used a String, then validated it with Regex.
