Apps has a stopwatch component and a duration field.  
Pages just has a duration field.  
I’m building in **Pages**

Entering `1` in a duration = 24:00:00 so this obviously means 1 day.  
I want users to enter a duration for a workout which will be in minutes and seconds.  
How do I do this in Glide Pages?

My current approaches are:

1. Enter minutes and seconds then use calculated columns to produce a `00:00` time. Which displays what I want, but won’t work in a graph because it isn’t storing that value.
2. Enter time as an _incorrect_ decimal, e.g. 1.50 means “1 minute, 50 seconds” but you’re really entering 1.5 minutes. Only impact is that the formatting looks wrong (no : between mm:ss) and people might get confused. Otherwise the graph will just be up to .33 off (1.5 should really be 1.83 minutes) which isn’t a major as the graphs don’t zoom in that much.
