Recycle Bin Items with Time logged against them

Since all users have the ability to delete tasks, sending them to the Recycle Bin, there's a need to be able to filter tasks with time logged against them from within the Recycle Bin.

My current workflow is to review items in Recycle Bin to avoid deleting items that have time logged against them since that is needed for reporting. Having to go through each item to confirm there is no time logged against them is inefficient. Since I can restore and all info is intact, it seems like this would not be a significant change to allow Admins to generate reports on those items in Recycle and then mass delete or restore as needed.

Hi Christine, thank you for sharing your suggestion, this is definitely a pretty unique use case. Do you encounter the situation with unintended deletion often? Really interested in learning more about this.

Yes, this is a frequent occurrence. Any task that has time logged against it is retained for historical purposes, and therefore should not be deleted. Since anyone can soft-delete a task, this happens a lot.

I know this is an old post, but I'm having this issue as well. My team is deleting tasks where other team members had already logged time. As a result, when I run the end of month time sheets, some hors are missing. There isn't an easy way that I've found to sort or filter the recycling bin or pull a report on items in the recycling bin. Am I missing something perhaps?
