[rt-users] Time fields in days

[Joosep]

Thanks for the reply Kenneth,

Is the database modification also necessary in order it to work, or should
it work with just the modifications in the file
local/html/Elements/SelectTimeUnits
?

Implementing the code from that thread so far only seem to give the
possibility to select days from the dropdown menu when using for example
"time estimated" field in the ticket basics, but seem to lack the math. At
least in RT 3.8.10. When inserting some value in hours, RT automatically
converts the inserted value into minutes(for example inserting 2 hours
results after save 120 minutes). When inserting for example 5 hours, after
the save, it results in 5 minutes.
I'm not very familiar with perl, but it seems that these rows should be
responsible for the math:
> % my $selected = 'minutes';
> % $selected = 'hours' if $minutes > 60;
> % $selected = 'days' if $minutes > 480;

But they don't seem to do it. Maybe the math has moved since then or i'm
doing something wrong.
I would be grateful for any pointers and hints where to look.

Thanks in advance
Joosep
