View: combined task and issue details in an Hour list

This hour view combines the Task and Issue Name columns, as well as the Task and Issue Planned Hours using the

sharecol

tag. Because an hour entry can only belong to either a task or issue, both objects cannot appear in the same column at the same time. Each line of the view populates with the information from either a Task or an Issue.

To learn more about the

sharecol

tag, see View: merge information from multiple columns in one shared column.
