Smarter "New/Edit effort" window interface
Too many button clicks to add or edit an effort. Automate the following:
1. Stop date should auto-update to equal Start date when Start date changed. 99% of efforts are within a single day. (configurable)
2. Stop time should auto-update to be set to the Start time. This reduces the need to scroll the drop-down list when selecting a Stop time.
Not sure whether to call this “declined” or “complete” but we have implemented a new date/time system that solves the concerns here. There are many improvements that make date/time selection much easier, including several keyboard shortcuts.
With the about-to-be-released version 1.3.21, there is a relative time function to quickly adjust the effort end time to be relative to the start time.
We will soon implement this into the “idle time notice” (although not for 1.3.21 probably), and that feature is used to help if you accidentally leave an effort running overnight. We are not going to force overnight to be blocked though.
Scrolling is itself much less of an issue with the new system.
