We've done the same, but, puzzlingly the comma doesn't show.

http://www.philamuseum.org/collections/permanent/296927.html?mulR=1692904757|1

Dimensions:
Duration: 6 minutes 14 seconds

I suspect that is something I missed in the Dimensions Assistant, which is not my favorite thing.  Can anyone advise on the comma issue?
Thanks,
Jessica

Hi Kellyn,

We use Duration as the Dimension Element and minutes and seconds as Dimension Types. Display example:

Duration: 8 minutes, 40 seconds

Hello everyone,

I wanted to inquire how your institutions catalogue media duration dimensions in TMS? (Currently, we list it with a "00:00 minutes" time format in our Medium Field, alongside if it is "black and white" or "color," if it has "sound" or "silent," etc. We have a few entries with "dimensions variable" written as free text in the Dimensions Field. However, we have not added individual elements in Dimensions Assistant.) Do you use the Dimensions Field or utilize the Dimensions Assistant?

Thank you!

Best,
Kellyn
