Comments.Text: Hm - I'm able to save it as null - but I can also put the value as 0, I realised (and the same happens on the demo version). Does it accept a positive number when you have 'No Show' selected? What happens if you leave the duration field blank for a scheduled or completed volunteer?

Comments.Text: when Im entering "0", it says "Please enter the actual duration volunteered."
  When Im typing in "null" it says it needs a numeric value.
  It does accept any value above 0.

Comments.Text: My bad. No-Show does accept values above 0.
  I also found out that I can change duration of the volunteering to 0 when I go to the volunteer's profile and I will edit his/her Activity.

Comments.Text: Can I check what version of Civivolunteer you're using? I think this might be related to this issue: https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/VOL-34 which was 'fixed' in 1.4.1 but could be causing the problem you're seeing, as the fix involved making the field required. As I'm using 1.4.0 (because I never remember to check for extension updates), the duration field isn't required for no shows. It looks like the demo is also using 1.4.0.

Comments.Text: Okay, yes, this is a problem with 1.4.1 - the duration field is required and also seems be set to reject 0 as a value. I'd recommend raising an issue on the CiviCRM issue tracker: https://issues.civicrm.org/
