I discovered quite by accident a hack to get around the issue of not being able to enter the time manually with the now-not-so-new UI.
To recap, the problem stems from the "Date started" time field automatically changing when you enter "Time spent" and only being able to select the "Date started" time from a pulldown. Even if you enter a time manually, it gets changed to the closest entry in the pulldown. [Note that the interval between entries can be set by your organization, but the general user cannot change the interval.]
Turns out if you enter the hours calculated backward to get the correct start time; for example:
Current time: 10:35am Time spent: 1h 20m Date started: 4/3/2025 9:15am
then click on the Date and select any date (it can be today), you can then edit the Time spent WITHOUT the Date started time getting changed automatically:
Current time: 10:40am Time spent: 15m Date started: 4/3/2025 9:15am
