Custom fields: timesheet custom fields not contained in export #190

Closed de-sec closed 1 month ago

de-sec commented 2 months ago

Describe the problem

Hi everyone,

we recently created a new custom field to track the travel distance in addition to the rare travel time in a single timesheet record - this custom field is restricted to the travel-time task we're using.

Our issue is the following: the content of the custom field is displayed / exported only if we filter for this specific task prior to the export, which isn't optimal for our needs.

Update: Versions: Kimai: 2.21.0 Custom Fields: 2.9.0

what we have tried

setting the custom field to "visible" > doesn't affect the export Exports with a filter set to the task, which the custom field is limited to > works - but its not a solution as we need an export of the whole last month, containing all recorded tasks Removing the limitation of the custom field > works but not suitable for our needs.

Describe the solution you'd like

We'd like to have the option to choose either if a limited / restricted custom fields is contained in an export or not.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Non-restricting the mentioned custom field isn't a real solution, as we don't want to handle the travel-distance on the "working" tasks.

Best regards

What you ask for will not be added, sorry.

The workflow isn't good and I was planning on actually removing the visibility restriction altogether, as they are impossible to use properly. As you experience already.
