Merge/combine time entries

I need to be able to combine/merge time entries while maintaining context of the individual entries.

I often do client work with the same set of tools across different clients. Automatic time entries are good, but not quite perfect.

When I am working on a single task, it often gets broken into many smaller entries, sometimes tagged correctly by Client, sometimes not.

While this is easy for me to spot when I review logs, there is no simple way to merge these entries into a canonical or parent task.

This also means that time I’m away from the desk, working on mobile or notepad, this time isn’t captured as easily as it should be.

Ideally, I would be able to highlight a time block in daily view, select all the appropriate tasks, and then click ‘consolidate’, possibly with an option of either a) leaving a note or b) creating a catch all ‘parent’ task that sums up what was actually happening with all of the captured ‘child’ tasks.

    On the calendar page, you can CMD click on macOS or CLTR click on Windows to enable batch actions! Then you can batch take actions like tag or merge!

      Oh this is awesome!

      So I think my issue/request is actually much smaller: the ctrl + click action isn’t immediately obvious to reveal that context menu.

      I was dragging a box around the tasks on the timeline, which then automatically shows options to create a new task.
