Updates a logged time entry. Every field is optional, and anything you leave out keeps its current value.

Move the entry between projects or tasks with project_id and task_uuid. Sending task_uuid also settles the project — it is taken from the task, and any project_id you send is ignored. Send either as null to detach.

Moving the entry to a different project recalculates rate and non_billable from the new project unless you set them yourself.

As on creation, rate and non_billable are only honoured for a token allowed to set billing, and reassigning owner_member_id to somebody else needs permission to manage the whole team's time.

An entry already billed on a paid or in-progress invoice is frozen: editing it fails with 422 not_accessible. Remove the invoice line item first if you need to change it.

Set billing_status to billed or unbilled to move the entry's billing state. It is only honoured for a token allowed to set billing, and a token without that permission gets 422 not_accessible rather than a silent no-op. non_billable is not a writable value here — use the non_billable flag instead.

Marking an entry billed requires it to be on a project and billable, and fails with 422 invalid_value otherwise. Moving a billed entry out of billed indirectly — by clearing its project or task, or by moving it to a non-billable project — needs the same billing permission and fails with 422 not_accessible without it. An entry attached to an invoice cannot be moved in either direction and fails with 422 not_accessible. Repeating billed re-stamps the entry with the current time, matching the bulk action in the app; repeating unbilled on an already-unbilled entry changes nothing. A request that only sets billing_status is accepted on a locked timesheet, matching the app's mark-as-billed action.

status and billing_status answer different questions. status tracks whether the entry sits on an invoice, so an entry you mark billed by hand keeps status: unbilled while billing_status reads billed.
