New field type for using Kimai variables in meta fields

[HeinzWuert]

In the Meta Projects area, allow the definition of a data field in which variables from Kimai can be used. Also for mathematical calculations regarding the budgets, sum of working hours and numerous META fields in this section.

Can you add some examples with explanations please, the current description is very generic and I don't really understand it.

In Kimai I can define all hourly rates that affect users. In $budget is defined the sum of time budget * hourly rate.

The hourly rate that is paid by the customer to me is still missing, which I therefore need for billing him. This is currently part of a meta variable under projects.

Now 2 non-existent variables for order monitoring are important:

• Current consumption of the hour quota with the costs incurred
• Current consumption of the hourly contingent but now calculated using the hourly rate that is billed to the customer. The remaining budget that is still available results from the delta of these 2 parameters. With calculating meta data fields you could calculate something like this, for example.
