Description

I test the field duration on nextdev and suggest some improvements.

I wonder if end-users (not Tiki/Techie) won’t be confused by so many modals, buttons and with many click before starting a simple timer (not happy UX). From the item creation to the timer running it is 4 to 6 six click/selection not to mention other fields that may be in the trackeritem.

Actually to user the timer function you have to give a title, a descriptopn and you have more options. That’s is good if you have ONE item and you will attach to it SEVERAL durations. While you are limiting yourself with the information you can attach with a duration.

It make more sense to me to create ONE item per duration and use the item fields to attach what you need with it. (label, description, date, reason, category, etc). Then using trackers or list plugins you can do whatever you want and use whatever you want. In that case the user can see a simpler version of the timer with a start/stop/pause (reset?) buttons only.

We could have an in the tracker field options an option to have only ONE duration recordable per item simplifying everything. So both case are covered.
