We’d like to gather feedback on the potential need for an organization-level setting that would control whether the "Track Hours Worked" project setting is enabled by default on all projects within that organization.
Background:
Currently, the "Track Hours Worked" setting is managed at the individual project level. While customers can use templates to ensure consistency, there’s currently no centralized control to enforce this setting across all newly created projects.
Proposed Idea:
Introduce a setting in Organization > Project Administration that allows organizations to:
- Automatically enable "Track Hours Worked" for all new projects, regardless of how they are created (manual, copied, or imported).
- Optionally prevent overrides at the project level (make the setting read-only in projects).
This could help standardize time-tracking practices across large project portfolios and reduce the risk of the setting being missed during project setup.
We'd love your input:
- Would this kind of setting be useful for your organization?
- Are you currently using templates or other workarounds to manage this?
- Would you prefer having control over whether project teams can override the setting?
Please share your thoughts, vote on the idea if it resonates with you, and let us know how your teams are handling this today!
