Long story short, we have set the option that people have to enter a value in the "Time Units" field when posting a note or email in a ticket.
But a lot of users enter 0 there and it affects the montly reports when doing a SQL query since those entries are ignored.
Is there a way to set a minimum value to enter in that field?

Re: Help setting a minimum of time units
Hi,
what do you expect to achieve with this? Anyone who enter 0 here, will later set an higher value (for example 30)
Now what? Is the number correct? No!
So the only right answer is: tell your agents to do it right.

That's the problem. People enter 0 in the note/email and don't enter a higher value afterwards.wurzel wrote:Hi,

Hence my question if there's a way in OTRS to enforce entering a value higher than X (because of course we have asked people to enter an actual value)

Re: Help setting a minimum of time units
That's not possible without development. If it's ok to have only a JavaScript test, you could write a custom JS file to inject some JavaScript code that checks on form submit if there's a value greater than 0.

Re: Help setting a minimum of time units
Just a heads up that negative values are also allowed, especially important to adjust invalid time entries.
Note that if you're always requiring positive entries of time units for every required time units entry, you may have people inflating tickets way beyond the actual time performed in the ticket. As well, they'd have to do math(s) to calculate time.
For example: Change owner? Time Units Required? Bill the customer for that?
