Hi, You've done this the right ways, for a single instance representation. If this is a representation that would be needed more often (as in, is commonly used in various dissectors) it can be added to the ftypes system (see epan/ftypes), in this case ftype-time.c. I could image it being handled via a new FIELDDISPLAY for FIELDTYPE FT_RELATIVE_TIME.
