I want to enter hours in an input field in my PowerApp. The hours are recorded in a dataverse table with the name activity recording. The data type is duration and stores whole numbers. Now I want to be able to enter, for example, 2:15 in the input. I do not want to change the data type.
How can I enter the format hh:mm, e.g. 2:15, in an input field, save this somehow in the dataverse table and have it output again in the format hh:mm?

Hi @alt88 ,

Much easier to store as Text in your data source, but to convert to a number (of minutes)

With( { wTime: Split( YourTextValue, ":" ) }, Value(First(wTime).Value) * 60 + Value(Last(wTime).Value) )

To get it back

RoundDown( YourNumberField / 60, 0 ) & ":" & Mod( YourNumberField, 60 )

The error message i get is:
This rule creates a circular reference between properties, which is not allowed. A property cannot reference itself or other properties affected by its value. This is the shortest circular reference: 'inpGalleryMo'. 'Default' ->
'inpGalleryMo'. 'Default'

@alt88 ,

The second item is the Default, The first is the Update of the data card (or the Patch content if you are updating that way).
