Merging two records

Open almarklein opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

Idea from a user:

If you have two record entries next to each other (within some short timeframe) with the exact same description and tags, there should be a way of easily combining them. You could merge them by dragging one of the time ends into the other. Or maybe a little plus symbol pops up between them and adds the two entries together (prompting the user with how much additional time would be added to close the gap between them).

Interesting idea that makes a lot of sense. I'd have to think/experiment a bit how to do it exactly.

Related, there is also the usecase where you stop a record, but you actually continue the work. I've felt the need to make the last record running again. But maybe hitting "resume" and then do a quick merge action would work just as well.

Is it possible to change the frontend to unstop/make a record "running" again, such as by changing the second timestamp.

Technically yes. But this is not implemented, right now. If done, we'd have to make sure there are no records created afterwards, there is no other running record, and the record's stop time is not too long ago. A bit fuzzy/weird.

Anyway, you can simply hit "Resume", which basically does the same thing, except now it's split up in two records 🤷
