[jira] Commented: (OFBIZ-3125) Add a duration field type to improve input and representation of durations: DurationField, allows to show and input *d *h *m *s *ms

Adrian Crum commented on OFBIZ-3125:
------------------------------------

Have you seen the duration lookup in Work Effort -

https://demo.ofbiz.org/workeffort/control/EditWorkEffort?workEffortId=9202

Having a duration field would be nice, but I'm not sure how that would work - since the value passed in the parameter must be in milliseconds.

Even better would be to have a duration data type that could be used throughout the framework.

> Is there interest in having a field that can parse and display durations expressed like these?
> - 10d 5h 6m
> - 6m 45s
> - 1s 145ms
> If so, then I can provide that. We're using this to handle durations as humans are used to, instead of having to see and express them in milliseconds. E.g. durations used in production runs: an operator knows it took so many hours to complete a task but it's uncomfortable to have to convert that to milliseconds when you want to store that data.
> So if there is enough interest I could provide a patch that adds a DurationField which can be used in forms like shown in these examples:
> - A field that displays a duration in the *d *h *m *s *ms format - this is a substitute for <display/> in milliseconds:
> {code:xml}
> <field name="estimatedSetupMillis" title="${uiLabelMap.ManufacturingTaskEstimatedSetupMillis}">
>     <duration disabled="true"/>
> </field>
> {code}
> - A field that allows to input a duration in the *d *h *m *s *ms format - this is a substitute for <text/> input in milliseconds:
> {code:xml}
> <field name="actualSetupMillis" title="${uiLabelMap.ManufacturingTaskActualSetupMillis}">
>     <duration/>
> </field>
> {code}
> Comments are welcome.
