TotalTime in How-To Schema Markup

    How can I deactivate the mandatory “Minutes” shown in the TotalTime element for the How-To Schema? I would like to show “1 Month”, but even if I set minutes to zero, it shows “1 Month 1 Minute” and by default it shows “30 Minutes”. Additionally, we need to show it in German, e.g. “1 Monat”. How is this possible? Could freetext be enabeled so that even a range could be shown; e.g. “1 to 2 Months” (“1 bis 2 Monate” German)? Problem is that GSC gives a warning if the TotalTime element is missing, but we cannot currently use it properly. Thanks for your assistance!

  • Yes and I have same problem. I can arrange everything except minutes (need minutes on my language).

    Hello @werderbremen ,

    I’d like to let you know, Minute is needed property for TotalTime property. So it is quite hard to remove.

    Regarding your other query, I’d like to let you know, we have already reported this issue to our concerned developers. They have fixed that issue in our development version and soon going to release an update for the same.

    Your patience and co-operation are highly appreciated.

    I hope that helps.

    Hi Sweta,

    Thank you very much for your reply.
    I am really looking forward to the update!

    I’m just wondering why minutes should be a mandatory property of the totaltime schema element since the schema page does not state this:
    https://schema.org/totalTime

    If your developers would find a way to not having minutes as mandatory property that would be much appreciated!

    Thanks again!

    Hello @werderbremen ,

    I have already taken this up as a suggestion and added it to our to-do list so that our developers can consider it in one of our future updates.

    I am making the query resolved for now.

    You can always get in touch with us through our website in case you wish to follow up or drop in any other suggestion.

    Thank you!
