Time accounting export: link entries to the specific article/action

Title: Time accounting export: link entries to the specific article/action

  1. What is your original issue/pain point you want to solve?
    Our time accounting export (Admin → Time Accounting → Time Accounting Entries) lists every booking with the ticket’s static title, but not which article/action within the ticket the time was actually booked for. With several bookings per ticket, we can’t reconstruct afterwards which specific action took how long.

  2. Which are one or two concrete situations where this problem hurts the most?
    Tickets with multiple time bookings across different articles (e.g. remote diagnosis, on-site visit, follow-up phone call). When creating transparent, itemized invoices for customers, we can’t show which booked time belongs to which action - only a total per ticket.

  3. Why is it not solvable with the Zammad standard?
    Activity Types (Admin → Time Accounting → Activity Types) only offer broad categories (we use “internal” / “billable”), not a reference to the actual article/action. There’s no field in the export connecting a time entry to its article.

  4. What is your expectation/what do you want to achieve?
    Each row in the time accounting export should reference the related article - e.g. article ID, article subject, or a short text excerpt - so we can trace exactly which action a booking belongs to, for accurate and transparent customer billing.
