Backdate Time Entries in Zendesk Time Tracking
Can I set up time tracking for earlier dates in Zendesk?

By enabling 'Edit Time Submission', agents can manually enter the time when submitting a ticket. This allows for some flexibility in recording time for work done on previous days, although it requires manual input.
