Mobile Actual hours reporting should REPLACE the default value in the hours field (0), NOT retain it. Causing Techs to inadvertently report 10 hours instead of 1!

In the Maximo Mobile for EAM application when Technicians report hours, they expect the default value (0) to be replaced when they tap to enter another value in the field. However, when clicking into the Hours field, the default value 0 (zero) does not clear which causes the user to need to remove/delete and more likely an inconsistency in Data (user doesn't notice the 0, enters 1 hour, ends up with 10 hours). Request field "clears default value of 0" when user clicks into it. And, that the cursor would automatically proceed to the minutes' section (if possible) to minimize the number of taps by users.

Thanks for your submission. The idea makes sense, we have other requirements around usability on how you enter hours, mainly the fact that Maximo allows you also to enter hours in decimal and it converts to a time format. Remember that you can use the configuration tool to change the defaults.
