Add Placeholder 'h:mm' to Hours Field
The time entry field such as "Spent time" or "Estimated time" will display the input format 'h:mm' as a placeholder (in light gray text). While you can already input time using formats like 1:15
or 1h15m
, this new placeholder will guide users on how to input time, even if they aren't familiar with the format.
