## Description

### Before filing a report

*Before you file a report, please ensure you are running the latest version of OpenProject and*   
*have searched for similar bug reports.*

### Steps to reproduce

*Please write down the steps to reproduce. Try to write down all necessary preconditions (what permissions do you have, are other users involved?). Example:*

If the Default time activity is disabled for a specific project, the button is unresponsive as well. In this project, I do not want my global default to be visible in the list. It would be ideal if at a project level, we had the ability to choose a different default time activity.

**Detailed Setup Steps:**

1.  In Site Administration, select a default time activity under the Enumerations menu.
2.  In Project Settings, disable that default activity.
3.  Go to a task in that project and attempt to start timer.
4.  Observe button does not start tracking.
5.  In Project Settings, enable that default activity.
6.  Go to a task in that project and attempt to start timer.
7.  Observe button **does** start tracking.

### What is the buggy behavior?

*Please describe the bug in as much detail as possible. Example:*

  - Time tracking button does not start due to API error

### What is the expected behavior?

*Describe how the application should behave like. Example:*

1.  Time tracking button should start
