I cannot figure out how to enter Technical Specifications: Film Length in feet (ft.)



It keeps rejecting the "non-numeric value."  I have tried variations: "feet", "ft.", "ft", and the punctionation mark: '

But none of them work.  I see other examples in meters that use "m", which is also a "non-numeric value," but I cannot figure out how to get feet to work, and cannot find any existing examples to copy.  The data that I have to add is in feet, not meters.

Hi Cliff, minutes doesn't make sense for this entry because it is talking about a measurement of physical length of the actual film reel.  "Minutes" would be the value for "running time," but "film length" is talking about a physical measurement like feet/inches/meters/centimeters/etc.

Vincent: It looks like the "Film Length" on IMDb is measured only in meters (m), not feet. Entering 2879 m should work. (Regardless of whether the actual film length is 9445 feet and 6 inches or 9446 feet and 5 inches, either way it would convert to 2879 meters.)
