Hi,
We have made some updates to Custom field drop-down values. We would like to make a mass update to old time entries to ensure these are reported correctly.
Is there any way to update the time entries as an admin (or other process) without withdrawing the approval?
Hi Matt, welcome to the Clockify forum!
I’m afraid not, as the purpose of the Approval feature is to lock the entries from changes and to leave a trace if the changes are being made.
The only way to make changes to approved entries is to for the admin to withdraw them first and state a reason for the withdrawal in the note during the process.
After you finish making changes you can submit them and approve them again.
Cheers!
Hi - I would support an easier way to do this - we have several time entries that have been recorded to the wrong task over several month which is now impacting budgets etc. I want to change these, but cannot do this without withdrawing and resubmitting several weekly timesheets for several users. Perhaps you could have a user type that has super-rights to do this? Or at least allow bulk withdrawal resubmission of individual time entries. Thanks.
Hi - has there been any further thinking regarding this from Clockify, @Natalie_C ? Thanks
Hi Tim!
There are no plans in the near future I’m afraid, but I will add your vote once again for that feature request rest assured!
The flow for editing Approved entries still remains the same:
Approval still needs to be withdrawn on that timesheet so it becomes editable for changes.
After mending the timesheet has been done you can resubmit it and approve on that user’s behalf again.
Cheers!
