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.
Status: UNCONFIRMED → NEW
Ever confirmed: true
Priority: -- → P2
Whiteboard: [Good Intro Bug]
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!!!

If you need help, better is to join Bugzilla developers on IRC irc://irc.mozilla.org/bugzilla rather than asking questions here.
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.

Removing good-first-bug keyword because team does not have bandwidth to mentor at the moment.
