Custom fields - Time Tracking

[Natalie]

Is there a way I can create a custom field that behaves like the original estimate field.

So its format is: *w *d *h *m ' (representing weeks, days, hours and minutes)?

you have to develop your own custom field type, check this tutorial to know how to develop custom field type

Hi Natalie,

do u ask for support to create a customfield? (Which is answered in many other questions).

For formating a working-duration you can use DateUtils.getDurationString(long duration, int hoursPerDay, int daysPerWeek), which returns a String like this *w *d *h *m.

You only need the duration / time in millisconds and a definition how many hours a working day has / how many working days a week has.

Hope it helps!
