I agree with this. Its the cleanest easiest way to do it. mask edits and stuff always end up being counter productive IMO.<div><br></div><div>it is very easy to use Stringlist Commatext to break it down, then analyze each suffix. even if they type "20m 20m" you just have a sum of 40m.<br>

I'd suggest a simple edit box that allowed users to enter their times<br>
as they can based on some rules. This, if i read you correctly allows<br>
a person to enter munutes and/or hours eg :<br>
<br>
3h<br>
90m<br>
1h 20m<br>
2d 5h 45m<br>
48h<br>
<br>
Then process the entry based on the simple rules. If someone enters<br>
sething you don't understand, then give a message showing the simple<br>
rules and ask them to enter again.<br>
<br>
This sort of time length entry works well in Jira (task/bug tracking)<br>
