**Post Title** : Timer starting automatically when project selected where is “+” button gone?

**Your Question/Topic** : Change of timer behaviour when project /task/client is selected

**Helpful Tips for Best Answers** :

- There appears to have been a recent change in behaviour when using the timer in the browser version of the app.
- When i add some work and select the project the timer starts automatically
- previously the “+” button was selectable so I could input my own start and finish time but now it starts automatically and you have to stop it and go into the entry to adjust the time. 🙂
- I don’t recall any recent updates and it only started on 9th December so not sure if I’ve missed anything.
- Does anyone know how I can revert the behaviour?

Just an update that this has now reverted to previous behaviour so all good now.
