In our WoW the actual effort will be updated by state.
Furthermore we have a separate field “Actual Effort (Per State)” that is mandatory to fill in order to switch to “ed” state.
The actual effort field will automatically accumulated with this value and the “Actual Effort (Per State)” is cleared as soon as the artf state switch to an “ing” state.

Since the “Actual Effort (Per State)” is a user defined field it is allowed to enter fractions of an hour.
But as soon as accumulated to actual effort the value is rounded up.

As a result, often the calculated effort is much higher than previously entered.
Especially for artifacts with little effort this behavior leads to significant distortions.

Therefore I request this change in the handling of the actual effort field by TeamForge.
Effort should be listed with 2 decimals and not rounded off.
This option should be configurable per TeamForge project.

We could change the Trackers base unit to Minutes, but this is not appreciated by the developers as they have then to estimate in big numbers (480 minutes instead of 8 hours).
