@vicks88, we have a bunch of workarounds discussed previously (it should help you meet your needs):

Input time to calculate the survey duration

Hi @tulus45, You could also give a try to capture the survey time as shown in the image below: [Image%201] Reference xlsform: Time Difference.xls (33 KB)

How to calculate per page data entry duration (in ENKETO, pages theme)?

Hi @kabira_namit, Welcome back to the community! If that is what you require, you could do it as outlined in the image shown below: In the survey tab of your xlsform: [Image 1] Data entry screen as seen in Enketo: [Image 2] Reference xlsform: Time difference to fill-up a section.xlsx (9.9 KB) Have a great day!

How to record time in each section of questionnaire

@vicks88, I didn’t get you clearly. You are trying to build a time variable in 12 hours and you again say you don’t require the AM/PM. So later on how would you analyze the time?

Maybe if you don’t need the AM/PM, you could simply use a text question and create a regex constraint to input the time. If this should work, here is a workaround (regex code) discussed previously:

Is there any "time" type data format?

Sorry, @Jeff, here is the correct constraint code (thanks @wroos for pointing this out): regex( . , '^(\d*:?\d+:\d\d)$' ) (also corrected above)
