Summary	0004888: Attach a time amount to an issue
Description	I use mantis to handle issues/bugs for an application I develop for a client. The client creates issues in mantis and gives them a priority. I take the issues, work on them and resolve/close the issue once it is fixed. Currently, I have a custom field named "Hours Worked" where I log time that I spent on the issue. This is not working as well as I would like because the custom field does not have a date/time associated with it, so when I work on an issue multiple times, it can span multiple months and billing cycles. My feature request is that it would be nice if along there could be a way to attach an amount of time worked (along with /when/ it was logged) to issues, and then be able to report on it. So I could ask mantis "how much time did I work for customer ABC during November 2004." Does this sound like a reasonable request? Thanks for your time, and for all that Mantis already is.

cwright 2005-03-28 23:31 reporter ~0009674	Are there any plans for this feature? I'd be willing to sponsor something to get this into mantis. I need an easy way to report the amount of time I have worked for clients in the past month. Currently I have a custom field but it takes me a lot of time to go back through all issues that have been updated during the last month and gather the hours to produce a bill. It would be great to be able to attach an amount of time when adding a bugnote or when creating the issue. Thanks, Cory
