custom vs built-in 'time' fields
i've added a 'time' type field to a Task form but it behaves differently to the built-in "Initial Time Budget" field ('estimatedtime') - how can i add a time field that behaves like the built-in ones?
for instance, the custom field allows max 24h and changes 25h to 13h - treating the entry as a time-of-day. The built-in field accepts 25h and doesn't change it.
is the only solution to use decimal fields for custom time values that might exceed 24h?
Note: the custom field behaviour seems wrong: the following entries->changed values don't make sense...
25->13
47->23
