Balala was gracious enough to lay down nicely what I mentioned earlier, so he deserves the thanks more than I do. For the record, on a second thought now that I'm on my laptop, both variants can be simplified into a single measure, if you don't care about the actual time, hours or minutes, and just want them to work in your Shape meter [...}
[Hour in Minutes number value issue]
This is normal. I'm assuming both your measures are String ones, so any numerical value of both will be based on the initial "18:30" string before the substitution occurs. Since such a string cannot be entirely converted to a number, only the part until the ":" (aka "18") "survives", hence the seemingly strange number value of these measures.
Your simplification into a single measure is greatly appreciated - and confirmed working! This also removes the "Hour in Minutes" number issue which is a strange effect in my eyes. Thanks for explaining this as well. All problems solved, user very happy!! Many thanks to both of you.
