Time Tracking Logging / Save us some mouse clicks
completed

Would be great to be able (again) to log the time with hitting "Enter". As a heavy user it would save me a ton of clicks :-)

Request: Allow users to set a Workspace or Personal preference for the Default Time Tracking Unit (Minutes vs. Hours).
Problem Statement: Currently, the ClickUp time tracking input defaults to Hours (h) if no unit is specified. For users who primarily track smaller, granular tasks in Minutes (m)—such as technical support, brief advisory calls, or system checks—having to manually type "m" after every entry (e.g., "90m") is a repetitive friction point. Entering "90" currently auto-completes to "90h," which can lead to significant reporting errors if not caught immediately.
Proposed Solution: Introduce a toggle in Workspace Settings > Time Tracking (and a personal override in My Settings) that allows users to choose their preferred default input.
If set to Minutes: Typing "90" would automatically log as 90 minutes.
If set to Hours (Default): Remains as the current behavior (90 hours).
User Benefit: * Efficiency: Streamlines daily task logging by reducing keystrokes.
Accuracy: Prevents massive inflation of time-tracked data caused by accidental "hour" logs for minute-based tasks.
UX Alignment: Better supports consulting and technical roles where sub-hour tracking is the standard operating procedure.

Bugra Oktay HI there! Can you please confirm what was exactly implemented here? Thanks!

Bugra Oktay I honestly don't understand why this topic was closed. What was completed?
Natalie Williams
Murat Köse I was wondering the same thing.

It would be nice if the manual adjustment of hours could be restricted, so that certain users, such as guests, could not manually enter or modify the time record.

I type 1 and hitting Enter doesn't do anything. Obviously I'm not logging 1 minute of time. I wish it did what Wrike did and made an assumption. At least an assumption give me the OPTION of saving time when the assumption is correct. If I seriously want to log 1 minute, I can type 1m > Enter. Currently Clickup forces me to type m or h, then then hit Enter. Annoying when it's something you do with every task / every day.

I'd love to use the default time tracking, but it lacks so many basic features as many have commented here and other related posts. One of the most frustrating aspects for me is being unable to round up/down or to the nearest amount of time. For example, I charge in 15m increments and so I don't want clients to see say 11m on dashboards or in tasks. It just feels like such an undeveloped element of a task management system.

The whole time tracking widget should please undergo a UX review. It's not really on the level we know from clickup. Some examples:
- Description field should be visible by default and be multiline
- Billable should be enabled by default (by setting)
- Timer should be pausable
- Time entry owner should be changeable for admin
- If no time unit (m/h/s) is entered, log it in hours or add a setting to let the user chose his time unit. HAVING to enter it is mad.
- Tracking time for other users should be allowed and CU should
separated "tracked by" and "tracked for" in that case
And please have a look at other existing time tracking solutions... time tracking still seems unfinished.

Would love to right click a task and start/end tracking time on it
