I have a few columms where the type is set to โ€˜Numberโ€™ (setting to Time doesnt work for me) and I have added a NumericDigits interger of 4 so my times appear as 0700 instead of 700 and this works great in my normal columns.

I have created a virtual colum to concatenate two of these colums for a start and finish time but when theyโ€™re displayed, its displays as 700-800 instead of 0700-0800.

Can anyone help me with what Iโ€™m doing wrong?

Modify your expression like CONCATENATE(TEXT([START]),"-",TEXT([END])) and it will work. TEXT expression saves the number column exactly the same way than you are seeing it.

Thank you. Worked a charm.

Youโ€™re welcome

@Aleksi_Alkio Iโ€™ve ran into another problem since adding a few virtual columns.

All the virtual columns Iโ€™ve added with the type โ€˜textโ€™ are now showing up as read only fields on my form view.

How can I get rid of them from the form?

Add a simple โ€œexpressionโ€ as FALSE to Show_If. If you donโ€™t want to hide them totally, you should change the option UX > Options > Apply show-if constraints universally > OFF

I take my hat off to you sir.
