Feature Request: API support for time entries in the Schedule tab
What is missing? Currently it is not possible to create time entries in the Schedule tab of a subproject via the Rentman API. The only available endpoint (create_projectfunctions with type shift) places the times as ungrouped functions in the Personnel & Transport tab, not as time entries in the Schedule tab.
What would the desired behavior be? An API endpoint that allows time entries to be created in the Schedule tab of a subproject, equivalent to the “Add a time” button in the interface. This should include the ability to pass a name, start date/time and end date/time.
Why is this useful? Schedule time entries form the foundation of the rest of the project planning. Using the “Copy to Personnel & Transport” button, they are linked to crew functions, meaning any changes made in the Schedule automatically propagate to the linked functions. If these time entries can be created via the API, it becomes possible to build complete project structures (including subprojects, time entries and crew functions) in an automated way — for example through an external integration or script.
Current situation / workaround Time entries currently have to be added manually through the interface, after which the link to Personnel & Transport also has to be made manually. This is time-consuming for productions with many show dates or locations.
