Displaying spent time and estimated time in Redmine in HH:MM format instead of decimal

Created on 2018-02-01  •  ISHIHARA Yukiko

By default, Redmine displays values of less than one hour in spent time and estimated time as decimals (for example, 30 minutes is 0.5, and 1 hour 20 minutes is 1.33).

If you change the "Time span format" setting on the "Display" tab of the "Administration" → "Settings" screen, Redmine displays the values in HH:MM format (for example, 30 minutes is 0:30, and 1 hour 20 minutes is 1:20).

Before the change (less than one hour is displayed as a decimal)

After the change (less than one hour is displayed in minutes)

How to configure

  1. Open "Administration" → "Settings" → the "Display" tab
  2. Select "0:45h" in "Time span format"
  3. Click "Save"
