Restore Hour Entries back to Original Hour Type when Restoring Tasks

We love the new recycle/restore functionality, but it would be great to have the ability to restore the hour type back to it's original.

When you delete a task and restore the task, any time logged to that specific task moves to "project time" instead of back on the restored task that it was originally logged to. It's important for us to see how much time is logged to each individual task and for reporting purposes (planned vs actuals).

Would also like the adminstrator-only-permitted ability to move logged hours with tasks moved to other projects. Without that, there's quite a bit of work an admin needs to do: Build and run Kickstart with hours that need to move to new locations, bulk delete the moved hours after opening closed timesheets, reclose them (and keep the timesheet owners and approvers from getting nervous by all the emails), then validating that nothing messed up.

Yes, we need this ability as well. The number one request to restore something is when they delete tasks that already have hours on them. Better yet.. people shouldn't be able to delete a task without confirmation if it has hours logged to it.

As I understand it if the system is configured to delete the hours along with the Task, then when restored the hours will be under the task. This is a poor option for us since we report the hours to finance and there is too much risk in allowing hours to be deleted.
