Since we are using tags for filtering time entries retrieved through the API, it would help us very much, if all time entries of a apecific project would be tagged automatically already upon creation. Which tag will be added to the time entries should be configurable when a new project is created.
This would help greatly in order to improve quality on our automated invoicing later on.
Can this be added to the roadmap? I think that it does not interfere or break other functions of Toggl Track
That’s a great idea for streamlining your invoicing workflow. Unfortunately, Toggl doesn’t currently support automatically tagging time entries based on the project they’re created in, nor can you set default tags when creating a new project.
However, here are some workarounds you could consider:
You could manually add tags to time entries after creation, or use the API to batch-tag entries for a specific project after they’re logged. If you’re retrieving time entries through the API for invoicing purposes, you could also handle the tagging logic on your end by checking which project a time entry belongs to and applying your own categorization system.
I’ll share your feedback about default project tags with the product team so they can consider this for future development.
