Duration Field

[beycos]

Hello Community, 

When I enter "24 hours" into a Duration field, the system automatically converts it and displays it as "1 day". However, I would like to see it displayed explicitly as "24 hours" instead of being normalized to "1 day".

Is there a way to prevent this automatic conversion or at least display the duration in an "hours" format (e.g., "24 hours") for the users?

Best Regards,

Hi @beycos ,

you can use max_unit attribute and set it to hours max_unit=hours

Thank you very much for your response. However, what I want to do is not to remove the "Day" field. I want to use the "Day" field only after 3 days. For up to 3 days, I want to use values like 24 hours and 48 hours. When I enter 48 hours, it converts it to 2 days.

Hi @beycos ,

not possible 

you can create a on load client script for form level

function onLoad() {
    var duration = g_form.getValue('duration');
    if (!duration) return;

    var parts = duration.split(' ');
    if (parts.length !== 2) return;

    var daypart = parseInt(parts[0]);
    var timeParts = parts[1].split(':');
    if (timeParts.length !== 3) return;

    var hours = parseInt(timeParts[0]);
    var minutes = timeParts[1];
    var seconds = timeParts[2];

    if (daypart <= 2) {
        var totalHours = (daypart * 24) + hours;
        var paddedHours = totalHours.toString().padStart(2, '0');
        var newDuration = paddedHours + ':' + minutes + ':' + seconds;
        g_form.setValue('duration', newDuration);
    }
}

 but in the list view it's still going to show up the day part

update the duration field name with your field name and adjust the script if needed
