Handling time data not working #596

Closed elinw closed 4 years ago

elinw commented 4 years ago

I have data read in as time with hours and minutes, and it seems to be being handled as though it is a diff time not a time.

592 also is about diff time, maybe we need to look at the time handling in general?

Reading various documentation pages, I re-remembered that there is no native R time class and so you have to install hms or another package that handles time. Or you have to convert to a native data-time class. So I think more or less we should leave as is and people should realize they need to curate the data.
