If you enter a duration "14:00" into a duration field, it translates to
"00:14:00" which is 14 minutes.
The current error message for invalid DurationField says that this should
be the format of durations: "[DD] [HH:[MM:]]ss[.uuuuuu]". But according to
the actual behaviour, it should be: "[DD] [[HH:]MM:]ss[.uuuuuu]", because
seconds are mandatory, minutes are optional, and hours are optional if
minutes are provided.
This seems to be a mistake in all Django versions that support the
DurationField.
Also the duration fields could have a default help_text with the requested
format, because the syntax is not self-explanatory.
