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.
