At the moment, the time task code column in timesheets is automatically filled with a default value if the assignment either has an open job or has never had a job.

In the event that assignment has had jobs in the past but they are all currently completed, it does not automatically fill that time task code column with a default value.

I think it should autofill with the time task code set in the timesheet settings. It is confusing from an employee perspective that they can select one assignment and it autofills that column and allows them to comment and set time units, then they select another assignment of the same type and it doesn't autofill. Many have even reported this believing it to be a software issue. Since most employees have completed jobs hidden by default, an assignment which does autofill by never having a job and one which doesn't because it only has completed jobs look identical to them.

I am aware that rolling forward a job to have an open one is a workaround, however these are often cases where time is being allocated to one client but the actual bill, and therefore the job and budget, is being raised on a parent client. Eg, A client we first engaged with for accounts individually but have since onboarded the rest of the group and now bill and raise jobs to the parent holding entity.
