Description

Hi

I have a couple of projects (one for each organizational unit), where people can create issues that we then handle. Sometimes someone wants to know how much time we've spent on specific activities.

For example, one project have these activities: * DNS overhaul * Storage expansion for voice-2-text servers

Another project these: * More volunteers * Sponsors for knife campaign * Artwork

I'm using the activity field to create per-project activities, which we can then map time spent into.

I found out that this is possible because there is a 'system activity' flag in the GUI which I took as a sign that non-system activities are possible. I accessed the database with a CLI tool and created per-project activities.

However, since there already is a per-project activity page (such as here: http://redmine/projects/PROJECT/settings/activities), it would be very nice if it was possible to create per-project activities here instead of with the database CLI.

In short, the per-project activity administration page needs a "New Activity" button. And an edit button to go with it. And a delete button somewhere..

If I went ahead and implemented this, would there be any philosophical arguments against integrating it into Redmine?

I am thinking that if there is a reason that this feature is currently missing, maybe I should instead work on my own plugin?
