Display only "Days" in a Duration field

[Taylor W]

Using a Duration field, we would like to only display "Days" rather than the OOB "Days, Minutes, Seconds". The Duration would be between a custom field called "Start Date" (date field) and the current date (today). I have tried a handful of different solutions on the community but nothing seems to work. Does anyone have any quick tips on how to solve this? Thanks!

Hi,

You can set the max unit on the duration field by adding the attribute mentioned below

max_unit=hours

The value can be days, hours, minutes or seconds and that is the max unit , but it will still show the lower units.

For if of you set hours the duration field will show hours:minutes

If you only want to show hours ill suggest you just calculate it manually and show it on an integer field.

Thanks Anurag! Unfortunately this does not meet our need. Using an integer field is a fall back solution we have explored but we would like to leverage the Duration field type if possible
