Description
This patch modifies the existing limitation on the TimeEntry model to enable the introduction of hours with values 0 or superior to 24 hours.
About the limitation for values superior to 24 hours, this is due to having 1 time value based on a concrete day, whereby the maximum hours that are usable per day are 24.
About the limitation to introduce hours with value 0, this is due to the objective of a time entry is to be able to enter a time dedication superior to 0 minutes, for what makes no sense for the users to be able to create this kind of entries.
The patch has been tested on the last Trunk version (15839)

- Subject changed from Improve the hours validation on the TimeEntry model to Reject over 24 hours on time entry

- for the moment, "0" hour because I use custom fields for time tracking, allowing me to count "seconds" or "days";
- it should always be possible to enter all the hours spent when somebody is back from a mission. For example, I often send my dev outside, where they don't have access to Redmine. When they're back I just ask them the number of hours IN TOTAL, and not to enter the number of hours for each day. It's far more confortable.
I think that limitations should always be an option and not a compulsory restiction for all the users :)

FWIW: Jean-Philippe Lang said the following about this in #9090#note-3:
[...] Some people might use time entries with 0 hours for specific purpose, I'm not really in favor of removing this possibility. We need more feedback before doing this change.

About the limitation for values superior to 24 hours, this is due to having 1 time value based on a concrete day, whereby the maximum hours that are usable per day are 24.
We should check existing timelogs to make sure that the total hours logged by a user on one day is <= 24h. Checking that each single timelog is <= 24h like in the proposed patch does not prevent users to log more than 24h on one day.
Right?
- Accept 0h timelogs (yes/no)
- Maximum hours that a user can log on a single day

I think we definitely need to make this restrictions configurable, for example with these 2 settings:
Right?
- Accept 0h timelogs (yes/no)
- Maximum hours that a user can log on a single day
this will be excellent, in which version we can see this pls ?

we had Applied the code and the system prevent to log more than 24 hours/ entry. but the issue is still we can log more than 24 hours in another entry for the same date
the system should have 2 validation
1- check hours not to exceed 24 hours
2- check if the user have another entry in the same date so the total of all entries for that date should not exceed 24 hours
pls check the attached screenshot

Make sure that you have configured the maximum hours that can be logged on one day (eg. 24h). By default, it is set to 999: go to Admin -> Settings -> Time Tracking -> Maximum hours that can be logged per day and user.
This issue is closed, please reopen a new one if it does not work as expected.
