Resolution
This was reviewed as DE42022 and determined to be working as designed. The copy hours from previous timesheet doesn't look at the day of the week but looks at the cell / column order. Example:
To work around the behavior, users can manually update the hours in the timesheets as needed.
- If the first day of the timesheet being copied from is Monday and has 8 hours, then when the next timesheet is created (and it's first day is a Wednesday), the 8 hours will copy into the first cell (Wednesday) regardless of the day of the week.
To work around the behavior, users can manually update the hours in the timesheets as needed.
