Record time in seconds

I believe they have a variant of ODK Collect that tracks times of data
collection.

Dear Community,

we are doing a methodological development and need to collect data on how
long a section of the form took to fill in. Example: I would like to store
start and end time for question 5 or between querstion 6 and 9. I have read
that with preload, you can record other times than start and end time of
the entire survey, but I cannot figure out how to do it.

ODK can record the time as an answer using the question type "time" but this only allows for minutes. Is there a widget that also records seconds?

Laura,

Nope. Best you can do is can make an integer widget that allows for
numbers between 0 and 60. Then pair two together to get your minutes
and seconds.

I think I figured out a way to record time in seconds via the Start Time Metadata field:

When I do this, I'm able to record a date time in seconds:
08 AM

You don't have control over exactly when this gets recorded but if there's a rapid succession of data that need to be collected with associated date times with seconds, this is a good option.
