[Rose17]

Hi All,

I want to set a negative value in a duration field.

Is it possible to do so?

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I believe a duration field cannot display/accept a negative value. please check links below as well

Could you tell me which field type can store -ve values?

Hi Rose,

you can have normal string field or integer field to hold those negative values
