Thank you for the patch but the following error occurs if Setting.time_entry_list_defaults[:column_names] is nil. The value is nil in a fresh installation.

Could you fix the patch?

I've fixed the issue by using the same logic implementation from issue default columns.

This should be fixed indeed but we should not alter application settings for that.
Defaults for time entries queries are stored in a single setting time_entry_list_defaults and I prefer to keep it like that.

Another fix attached without altering application settings. The patch includes also a fix for a missing fixture for #28391.

Jean-Phillipe, if the proposed fix is still not good, I think we can get rid of the methods default_columns_names and default_totalable_names and add the project column to the default list (if is not in a project context) in the build_from_params method. Another ideas I don't have.

I had an error in my previous patch and I've removed it for now.

#14 Updated by Marius BALTEANU over 3 years ago

File 0001-show-project-column-by-default-in-global-time-entry-.patch added

Here is the updated patch.

Jean-Philippe, some mentions regarding my patch:
- I've removed the default columns defined in the default_columns_names and default_totalable_names methods because I found them confusing to have them defined there and also in the application settings. I preferred to keep them only in the default application settings.
- I've added an empty hidden tag in app/views/settings/_timelog.html.erb in order to prevent saving empty columns list from UI
- I've fixed the tests test_index_with_default_query_setting by adding to the settings the key totalable_names which is required.

I think that we can improve the current implementation by validating the presence of the keys totalable_names and column_names for setting time_entry_list_defaults in the "Setting" model. In this way, users will receive a validation error when they will try to save an empty columns list instead of the current message "Successful update.", but without actually saving.

Also, maybe is a good idea after we have the final implementation for this feature to move the settings for issues default list (stored now in 2 settings) to one setting and to have the same implementations.

About my previous note, I'm not sure anymore if the solution with adding the project in the build_from_params method is an option.
