    How do you remove some of the options in the drop down values. of the Duration field in the Task/Activity Entity

    In the Duration field you have dropdown values that include minutes and hours and days values.

    I would like to remove all the option values that are days.

    They include 1 day, 2 days, 3 days.

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Hello Nick,

    The Duration field (actualdurationminutes) is not a normal dropdown. I don't think this is possible as the Duration attribute is a 'Whole Number' field. Fe, if you type 61 in the Duration field, it is converted to 1.01666.. Hours.

    A solution would be to create a custom field (dropdown) with your desired values (hours/minutes/days/months), convert it On Save to minutes and map it as an integer to the duration field.

    Hope it helps

    Kind Regards

    Duration field list values are not customisable using supported means so either use Nick's idea of a new option-set field & jscript or use a workflow to update the other field onchange of your new option-set.
