Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.I see for now when I create new Timetracking, the Timetracking duration (Duration (hours) field) calculated in decimals from begin of current hour up to current minute.
Is it a good idea to keep duration in decimal format, instead of time format (hh:mm f.e.)?

Nick Fedchik commentedBy the way:
If I edit the Time begin: or the Time end: fields, the duration time did not recalculated.
Comment #2
Nick Fedchik commentedIt's possible to enter invalid time values into the Time begin: or the Time end: or the Duration (hours): fields.
For example, Time begin: -4:00, Time end: 25:07, Duration (hours): -116

Roberto Gerola commentedDuration is automatically calculated only if the field is left blank.
Duration in decimal format simplify the claculations.
Hour can be inserted in various format :
15
15:30

Nick Fedchik commentedI'm not sure is it a good format - not a human-readable, but it's your decision.
I guess than furter features (Gantt Diagramm?) will be depend on time format.

Magnity commentedI agree that this is difficult to read and needs changing - for example 2.50: STORM uses this to display 2h30, but I would automatically assume it means 2h50.
