For me the optimal behaviour is that all new tasks would use the
default rate, unless changed after creating the task.
Thinking about this a little further, there are some other defaults
I'd like to apply too, like default categoy(ies) for instance. I
wonder if perhaps it might be better to generalise this and have a
feature for creating custom task buttons. For instance "New Sysadmin
Task", with default rate of $30/hr and category of "sysadmin". Or "New
Print Map Task" with fixed rate of $45 and category of
"publicication", "New Read & Respond to Mail Task", $0 and category of
"correspondence", etc.
I've created a feature request for this,
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1934786&group_id=130831&atid=719137
I imagine this would take a fair bit of work to implement. In the
meantime, assuming you agree this is a good idea, if there were some
means of specifying defaults for at least hourly rate using an .ini
file I would jump at it. If this could be accomplished by a
semi-litereate hack script writer please feel free to point me at the
correct RTFM.
many thanks,
