Retain description when timer is paused but entry is not yet added?

When pausing the timer without adding the entry I cannot enter a description and have that description saved (the description only gets saved if I add the entry).  I bounce back and forth between different tasks throughout the day but would prefer only a single time entry per task per day - so it is preferable to pause the timer on a task and then start it back up again when I return to that task later in the day (vs simply adding the entry every time I stop the timer, which would end up creating multiple entries throughout the day for the same task).  However, since the description is not retained when pausing without adding the entry, I have to wait until the end of the day to add my description, by which time I have forgotten everything I've done on that task. 

It would be better if the description was simply retained in the timer window and allowed me to add to it throughout the day, until the end of the day when I finally add the entry.  The reason I don't want to have multiple entries per day per task is it creates more work when adding those timelogs into Quickbooks for invoicing (which is a manual process....though even if it were an automated process it would still look messy in the invoice to have so many different entries for the same project on the same day - much better to consolidate all into a single entry per project per day).

Hi Aaron! Thank you for sharing the feedback and for going into detail about your use case. I've passed this idea on to the Product Team for consideration.
 
Aside from submitting feedback I also want want to make a suggestion which could potentially help. Would it work to have a designated area in the task's description field for taking notes on what you've worked on? This information will be easy to access and won't be hidden in the task's activity stream. If you prefer for the data to stay in the time entry fields, then at the end of the day, you could copy and paste data from the task description into the time entry field. That way you can make notes throughout the day. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on this!
