Hi!

RTC 3.0 now support time tracking, which is cool. Currently only owners can make new time entries*, however there are some cases when the ownership of a task (being accountable for its success) separates from the fact that somebody is working on it. Take for instance a meeting or a 2hrs code review session. It would be handful to have the ability of skipping the creation of multiple subtask (one for each participant) and just let them booking their time onto the same task entry.

Any ideas?

Best regards,
Ferenc Kovcs

* 'Save Work Item' failed. Preconditions have not been met: CRRTC1704E You must be the owner of the work item to add the time tracking entries.

One simple approach is to just assign the task to yourself when you want
to record time spent around it.

Yes, we figured out the same however I'm afraid there will be some side-effects at reporting (task history, etc.)

Thanks,

The side effects are likely to be positive. If two people are in fact
working on the same task, it would be appropriate for both of them to
appear as having been the "owner" at some time. But for accountability,
it is preferable for you to actually instantiate the sub-tasks, so you
can track who was actually doing what.
