User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.3) Gecko/2008092417 Firefox/3.0.3 Build Identifier: It would be great if time tracking fields allow entries in hh:mm format, at least for Hours Worked, since the sexagesimal system is the natural way to measure time. Reproducible: Always Expected Results: Hours Worked field should accept the hh:mm format.

I'm surprised they don't already.

The time evaluated at Bugzilla::Object->_validate_time and stored in DB is represented as a decimal floating point number. How are we supposed to convert the hh:mm format to a decimal floating point number or vice versa?

Can anyone tell me in which page this is to be added and how should i start working on it since this is my first bug!!! Pls help

raj454raj: You might want to search in your checkout of the Bugzilla codebase for "time tracking" or find the place where the function which is mentioned in comment 2 is called, after setting up your test instance of Bugzilla for testing your changes there before creating a patch.

Sorry but i didn't get you. This is my first bug so please explain somewhat in detail. Sorry again!!!

Frederic, is this bug still valid in the current code base? If so, this is marked as a good first bug and it would be helpful to have: * link to the codebase * link to the files that would need editing * how to reproduce/test this issue * a mentor assigned to this bug

See Bugzilla::Object::_validate_time(), which is the validator for time tracking fields.
