We have had a few instances where staff have entered task time as 0.3 for 30 minutes work (when it should be 0.5 of an hour). As most tasks don't go for more than an hour this can quickly lead many bad entries.
It would be nice to have the option to set time based fields to 'minutes'. |

Its probably overkill mountainash to be honest.. If someone thinks .3 hours is 30 minutes, there are probably greater issues to deal with. 
But seriously, a suffix might work, depending on how complex/confusing it makes the process. e.g. 15m, 5d, 2h.
I suspect we'd have greater confusion, but we'll keep it in mind. I'll start the spec on the next base mods for Enterprise in February. |

| It does need to be that hard. Just the same as you have the "convert hours to days" option in Admin, I guess you could have a "convert minutes to hours" and make the system minute based? |

Hi Mountainash,
We actually use minuites a lot, we get a lot of phone calls that are only 5-10 minuites which is hard to track in hours.
I created a mod so that the user inputs minuites, and we just multiply it up. I will tidy the code up a little and create a patch file for you and put it in the cusomisation section. It will probably be tomorrow that i do that now, but it should help you.
If i have time, i could probably add this as an admin tick box as well. |

| Thanks Matthew, that would be cool. Please let me know when it is added and I'll test it out. |
