Status and comments upon task completion

Status change upon starting the timer and comments upon completion or cancellation.

Last updated 20 days ago

When the Change status to "In Progress" when starting the timer setting is enabled, starting the time tracker simultaneously updates the task status. This ensures that list and Kanban views reflect that work has begun. This option applies to tasks that were previously unstarted or paused.

You can make a comment mandatory when a user:

marks a task as Done;
marks a task as Cancelled;
stops the timer.

For completion and cancellation actions, the standard interface opens a comment window. This allows for a brief record of the result, handover details, or the reason for cancellation. The timer note is saved alongside the time entry.

These settings are useful for teams that require consistent task history. If you use integrations or automated status changes, please verify their behavior separately. Task completion questions are a separate feature and can be used in conjunction with completion comments.
