Make "Time Units" a field in an ActivityDialog

[RStraub]

Hello again!

I'm trying to add the "Time Units" field to an ActivityDialog (Process Management). When I edit the AD, there is no field like "Time Units".
As I've read about the issue that internal fields are not shown in the Process Management, I check the dynamic_field table, but apparently Time Units is not an dynamic field.

Is there a way to add this field to an AD in a process flow? If not - is this a bug or a wanted feature?

Best regards and many thanks,
Rolf

Currently this would need development. I think it's neither a bug (as it's nowhere mentioned that all fields are supported) nor a feature, but a missing feature

Thank you

Sorry to revive an old thread, but it's been over a year and I have the same need, so I just wanted to confirm that this feature is still "missing". Thanks.

Yes, but we found a "workaround":

1) Created a dynamic field named "TimeUnitsInternal"
2) Wrote a custom module which takes the value of the dynamic field and writes it to the time units field and creates a note (this is a side effect, but you cannot have time units without a note).
3) Made the dynamic field mandatory in activity dialogs to ensure there is a value set.
