I’m trying to update the duration fields via standard hh:mm:ss and my updates are failing. By no means an expert here so forgive my ignorance as the API documentation isn’t telling me much. What type of number should I be using in order for this to work? Should I be converting time to a UNIX timestamp or something else? Thanks in advance!

You will need to convert the duration to seconds and then pass that duration in seconds to the API
