iCloud shared Numbers document - cooperation problems

I have two questions:

1) Why do the information I enter into a shared Numbers document on iCloud keep on disappearing? When I start editing the table the information just suddently disappear. I work on iCloud (because the owner of the shared document has a higher version of Mac system and so it is not possible to cooperate directly in Numbers) I was connected to the internet when this happened. It happened several times in a row which was extremely frustrating

2) And when I want to enter some figures and times it changes them into nonsense. For example I need to write 15:00 and it changes them 4d 8h 18m.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.15

1) I can't tell what the problem might be. Is your internet connection stable?

2) When you input 15:00 one you get something like 4d 8h 18m that means Numbers has the cell formatted as Duration, meaning here 4 days 8 hours and 18 minutes. I don't see a Duration data format in Numbers for iCloud, so you may need the owner to change the data format to Date & Time (or Automatic).
