Is there a means of forcing a default unit for a property? For example, if I have a property of type 'size' that can accept mm, cm, m, km, etc. and these units correspond to 0.01, 0.1, 1, 1000 respectively. If the user then enters a number, through a form, without specifying the unit, is there a way to have SMW automatically assume that value corresponds to the unit for which '1' is assigned (in this case, m)? Thanks, Jon |

That is the way it works currently. The unit for which the conversion fact of 1 is assigned, the "Standard Unit" or "main unit", is the default unit used when none is specified by the user... I think... Oh wait! I see you're right! Not specifying a unit causes the property to 'break': The type "Time": * [[Corresponds to::1 h, hour, hours]] * [[Corresponds to::3600 s, second, seconds]] The property "Has duration": * [[Has type::Time]] The page "Sandbox": * [[Has duration::3]] * [[Has duration::2 hours]] * [[Has duration::10 seconds]] {{#show: {{PAGENAME}} | ? Has duration # s }} The show query does not return the value of 3 hours in seconds... Lets log a bug!
