🔖 Feature description

I love the new time-tracking feature! And since it is still an experimental feature, I thought I could add my two cents.

In short, I would appreciate if we could have separate dataview fields for clocking in and out ([clock-in:: in] and [clock-out:: out]) for each task, rather an a single field of the form [clock:: in--out].

✔️ Solution

The solution would come down to change the logic to deal with two different fields for clocking in and out, rather than having a single field for both functionalities.

Why this change? Essentially, this would make it easier to parse tasks later on when we try to create scripts for user-specific needs.

For example, if I want to compute how much time I've spent in certain tasks, I could directly gather the clocking ins and outs as dataview's time fields and compute their difference, rather than first having to parse them as a single string and split them by the '--' separator.

❓ Alternatives

The alternative would be to leave the users to go through an initial extra parsing step to obtain the two clocking times, so if there is any clear disadvantage code-wise on doing this over having a single field feel free to ignore the request.
