Stopwatch-style Work Timer for multiple concurrent users
Hello,
we are currently investigating if we can migrate from our current issue tracking solution to YouTrack.
We discoverd the Stopwatch-style Work Timer and it is great. But, imagine a video conference with a customer where a project manager and one or two developers are involved and want to track their time... Can the Stopwatch-style Work Timer be enhanced in a way that multiple users can log on the same issue at the same time? Is it possible to add multiple values to the fields (Timer and Timer time) used by the Timer and add usernames and state to Timer and username and timestamps to Timer time? Is there any other way to get this working for multiple concurrent users?
Thank you for any information of help you can provide on this.

Hello,
I'm Lena from the YouTrack Team.
If we are talking about the Stopwatch-style Work Timer workflow, it works the way that the work item is added only for the user who triggered this workflow. The trigger is "Start and stop the timer when the user changes the Timer field value". As you understand, only one user can change the field value at one time.
However, your developers can leave the work time records manually in the issues as described here: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/youtrack/cloud/Add-Work-Items-to-Issue.html
