Why is "value" null in the following? What is the right way to make a TIMACT_NS field?

FieldEntry fieldEntry = createFieldEntry();

FieldEntry value = fieldEntry.intValue(TIMACT_NS.fieldId(), TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toNanos(timestamp.toEpochMilli()));

    Hi @martin.eriksen,

    The TIMACT_NS is a time field rather then an integer field:

    TIMACT_NS  "TIMEACT NS"         14269  NULL        INTEGER            15  TIME             8

    Please use the time() instead of intValue() method to encode the nanosecond timestamp into the field entry.

    See the method signature here.
