Issue time estimate, meaningful time tracking

[stuzer05]

This pr does:

1. Adds functionality to set estimated time for issues similar to Jira (in "1w 3d 15h 30m" format)
2. Now it's possible to view exact tracking time both logged, total and per-user (estimated time is not useful for tracking)
3. Replaces Stopwatch "Add time" form from Hours and MInutes to Jira-like input in "1w 3d 15h 30m" format
4. Adds ability to localize all time tracking issue comments in the future
5. Removes meaningless seconds from tracking display information
6. Makes time logging comments the same style as other comments (no new line and icon)

Why?

Time estimation is essential for some teams to know the importance of issues, the amount of effort an issue would take. And for business to know if it's profitable to spend money on developers time to implement an issue

I suggest you remove the issue number from the title and add Closes #23112 to the PR description. Also mark this PR as draft while you're working on it.

Thanks for this PR!

@lunny I don't think this is duplicating existing functionality.

• estimate = how much time I think this will take
• tracking = how much time this is taking
• due date = the date when this needs to/should be completed

I see that @lafriks has posted a comment, I'm going to go read that and then come back and update my comment with how I think we should proceed.

Can we merge these three time tracking related things into one button in the sidebar, and then show a modal.
There are too many things in the sidebar.

This! This is exactly what all this means

I have the same idea. We need a design to include all three into the right sidebar but looks simpler. It took too much spaces currently.

If I understand correctly: the feature is good, the UI needs some new design.

I will try to make some improvements later (especially the UI part, to reduce UI complexity), maybe we could try to get this in 1.23

@lafriks the "change request" seems outdated (#23113 (review)), I think we could dismiss it.

I will do some following improvements, and let's re-review again then.

[lafriks]

Not really, my concern was not addressed at all, currently estimate if I set a 5 days will be 24*5 hours that is not how estimates are expected in project management and this way they cannot be compared to time tracking with actual time spent to be useful. In project management when you estimate that the task requires 5 days to implement usually mean that 5 working days (5*8h or 5*7h etc depending on the company/country etc). My proposal would be to display estimate only in hours&minutes and later on implement other math behind this using org/global settings etc

[wxiaoguang]

My proposal would be to display estimate only in hours&minutes

Agree, hour&minute is good enough for this feature IMO. Does anyone else have other suggestions? If no, I will do it this way.

Update: sorry but I guess I wouldn't have enough time on this issue, recently there are many things in life that need to be dealt with so I can't promise when I would have time. Feel free to work on it if any one has time 🙏

adding tests for this function would be awesome!

[stuzer05]

Will work on it
