CONTEXT:
In Archetype Designer at tools.openehr.org, I am currently trying to model the template for the medication order, namely the default values for the morning, noon, evening and night schema. For these timing patterns I apply the archetype **Timing - daily**, which provides the attribute/field/data element **Specific time**. For **Specific time** I successfully applied both data types **Interval:Time** and **Time**. As a pattern I want to apply **Full time**, but setting this to **Upper** is not possible, as the Archetype Designer simply does not want to persist my changes, whatever I do, and always reverts it back to the pattern **Any time**. This does not happen to **Lower**.

QUESTION:
* Is it generally not possible to set the upper time window to the pattern **Full time**?
* Do we need to perform manual updates to the ADL file to do so?

Finally, I have won. Archetype Designer resigned after my fifth try. The time intervals have been persisted. Was quite a fight.
