Re: [Tsheetx-developers] Customizable default tasks

[Peter L. <pal...@gm...>]

Just experimenting with tsng.

I created a new client. Client appears in client lists,and doesn't 
appear in any drop down lists
I created a new project for this client. a default task gets created as 
well. Delete the default task, and the project list says "no tasks". Try 
to add some time to this project, and the task list says "no tasks 
assigned to you"

So it seems that tsng already handles the situation where there are no 
default tasks or projects.

Just need to delete the code that creates the defaults in the first 
place and test using an empty database.
