Sometimes we have a problem in our team, that a member logs duplicate work without recognizing this. In case, there is a lot of work been logged twice, we have chance to realize that in the report section (e.g. report shows 16h of work for one developer on one day). But in case, there are only 1-2 hours been logged twice, this is no longer the case.
It would be great to have an optional setting to prevent overlapping worklogs. Here is an example:
User logs 08:00 - 12:00 on ID-1
User logs 12:00 - 14:00 on ID-2
User logs 11:00 - 12:00 on ID-3 --> Here we would need an error message or something similar that prevents that entry been logged.
I see this as a core functionality of a time tracking tool.

This is almost a fatal flaw in this platform (for those of us using this to pay hourly employees) - from an approver standpoint it is very difficult to identify overlapping time entries.
Part of my team is used to track time on real-time basis: Once I change task (issue) I'm working on, the tracking of the previous task is stopped and tracking on the current task is started. It works well when tracking using simple Excel sheet. It used to work (as a basic approach) e.g. in FogBugz.
I understand it is a minor approach, but Tempo user basis is huge and this should be supported.
We are considering migration to some Jira-based time tracking system now and lack of this approach might be a stopper for Tempo.
This would be great to have as we often generate timesheets reports that we send to clients and need to show start/end time. I currently use the excel export for this which shows start time and number of hours which does server this purpose, but if there is a clash in the time for an individual person, the client may think we accidently double charged them.
If this is not fixed, this would remain a failed functionality. Hey Coder, you will be trolled for this small reason bro! Take care Tempo.. How you guys missed this small functionality error????? Coder... Wake upppphhh..
