The timesheet timer now opens with the project the employee has most recently and consistently used, making repeat time entry faster. If the user is already viewing a specific active project or task, that context still takes priority, while archived or template records are no longer suggested.

When opening the timesheet systray, the timer is now prefilled with the project to which the employee's three most recent timesheets are all linked, since they are most likely to keep logging time on it.

The currently viewed project or task takes precedence over the favorite project, and viewing a project form now prefills the timer as well, just like task views already do.

The payroll data update process is now configured for the Philippines payroll module. This helps keep standard, non-customized salary rules automatically up to date, reducing manual maintenance and improving reliability for payroll users.

Currently, the "Payroll: Update data" cron doesn't work for HK payroll as we never set up the _get_data_files_to_update. We can set up the list of data files to keep up to date to better support our users by automatically keeping non-edited salary rules up to date.

This update simplifies the process for responding to PDP requests by moving the response button from a prominent display to the cog wheel menu. Previously, users could achieve the same result by cancelling or posting an invoice/bill, so this change reduces clutter and improves usability. This is an important improvement to the user experience.

No real need to show a big button for sending a response in PDP as cancelling and posting an invoice/bill would do the same, so we move it to the cog wheel menu

This update refines how employees' favorite projects are automatically selected on timesheets. Previously, a project was selected with fewer than 3 linked timesheets. Now, a project is only selected if at least 3 of the employee's 5 most recent timesheets are associated with it, ensuring more accurate and relevant project associations.

A favorite project is now selected only when at least 3 of the employee's 5 most recent timesheets are linked to it.
