Time format changes when editing value

[JariV]

Hi,

I bumped into annoying field behavior that I haven't been able to figure out.

I have several time fields (hh:mm) in a portal. When any of the fields is being edited, the visible field contents changes to hh:mm:ss, which makes editing quite laborous. Is there any way to avoid this?

Additionally, in the same layout there are sum fields calculating totals of these time fields (using a self-join relationship). The problem is that these sum fields don't update in real time when the values in the time fields are changed - only when the the sum field is activated either with cursor of tab-key the correct sums are updated into sum fields. I'm looking for a kind of Excel-like behavior here, so that the user can immediately see the impact of changes made.

Any help with these small but irritating problems is greatly appreciated.
