Redmine

You can "move" a time entry by editing it and then changing the issue number, time really isn't linked to a project but a issue.

The ability to delete a time entry would be nice.

Indeed, the time entry can not currently be moved to an issue of another project.
I think I could change this behaviour. What do you think ?

In our company we are spending less time to fill in a time entries. We just fill'em in one default 'stuff' project and then, near the end of the week and/or month, sort them. For another example: you have to do a very high priority work and after that you got next one (urgent too). There is no time to fill in all the forms to create a new issue. So you just made a 'timestamp' in 'stuff' (common, garbage, etc) project and at the end of a work day you'll create an issue ticket with all the things inside. After that you have to create a relation with your time entry. Back in time :) It's reverse logic: 1. Time entry 2. Issue. Something like that. Hope it's understandable. Sorry for my english, it's night up here now :)

Thanks. I'll have a look at all these files, even if a single diff would be easier to apply :-)

Sorry about that, Still learning about the whole patch thing.

The problem with moving spent time from one project to another still exists. We use redmine to track our time spent with over 200 Projects and would love to be able to transfer entries.
Any chance that this will be included in an upcoming version?

• In our company we would like this issue too.
• We use time entries very hardly, and for now to move time entries, first we move it to another issue brother to the first one an inside the project (this is possible), and then we move the issue to another project or we make it daughter to another issue on the second project.

+1 for this feature.

It would be helpful to add more detailed error message, not only "Invalid issue", but for example "Timelog can't be moved between projects".

+1 for this feature from our side too :-)
If we can assist in anyway, drop me a note.

+1 from our company, too. For an efficient time logging tool this feature must be available.

Having this implemented would be really nice as the current workarounds are quite cumbersome.

• We have updated our Redmine from v. 2.2.2.0 to 3.2.0 the past December 16th 2015, and today I have found that this issue is solved, but I could not say from which version, because our jump has been great.

Redmine 3.2 still cannot move timelog without issue.

If I understood good the issue, in Redmine we could not change the hours between proyects. I insist, we could not, because, due your comment, I promise you that right now, I have repeated the test and I have changed the issues numbers in 2 timelog entries at the same time, inside my Redmine v3.2, moving the hours to other issue, so to other proyect.

¿Maybe could be something about in the setup inside Redmine that let you do it?

You can move time log if it links to issue.
But, you cannot if it does not link to issue.

We're very interested too in this feature, but I'm not sure how it should work.

I see 2 possibilities:
1. Allow moving between projects only spent times without issue id. This means that if you want to move a spent time with issue id to another project, first you need to unlink it from the issue and then change the project.

2. Allow moving all. This way seems a little bit more complex because there are multiple scenarios to take into consideration (clear issue when the project is changed, validate issue id and the project on save, etc).

Which is the desired behaviour?

Any feedback on this patch? I really think that this feature is needed.

Patch committed, thanks Marius. I've merged the changes to the bulk edit form as it's not fully working, we should have a way to clear issues (otherwise the update might fail) and the activity list should be updated when changing the project.

Thanks for committing the patch. The changes for bulk edit shouldn't be in the patch from the beginning, they are just a quick solution for us internally. I'll create a new issue when I've the changes ready for the core.

The :issue_id param is used to redirect with the proper params. The form contains a different parma: time_entry[:issue_id].

Ah, my bad, sorry for not seeing this.

The patch that implements the project bulk edit for time entries was added to #26534.
