- Create a new area in Dragon Admin
- Name your area whatever you want
- Note the Quest hours is filled in as white text = value. A normal user would expect this to save to the db.
- Leave all fields "default" scroll down and click save.
Check database and you'll notice the null value for this area. Recommendation is to switch the [1,10] value that is displayed in the text box from a Value to a Text hint. That should make it obvious to users that they need to fill in this text box. Alterative would be modifying the DB schema with a default value but I disagree with that choice.

I noticed that quests didn't run overnight and it seems the root cause is that when looking at the areas list, it was showing a
-as the quest hours. However, when opening the area in Edit mode, it was defaulting the quest hours to show[1,10], leaving me to think that the hours were properly set.Upon looking in the database, I see that it was actually an empty string. Unsure what has caused this. I've never manually edited the database directly in any way.
Edit: After checking another area, I have seen that the area starts with NULL as the quest_mode_hours. If you hit Edit on it and scroll down to the quest mode section, you will see that
[1,10]is already in place. Turning on the toggle to activate quests in the area and saving it will update the quest_mode_hours to a empty string. Seems that the[1,10]is a hint and not an actual value.
