Time Reporting to Project Not Task
Given the amount of trouble you have had with Timesheet reporting PWA, I am surprised you have not abandoned this entirely. However, if you do want to continue having team members to report high-level progress, there are two settings on the Timesheet Settings and Default page in PWA that your app admin will need to change. I have highlighted them with the red outlines in the image below. Hope this helps.
CharlesB1325 Were a pretty large organization and we had the same issues. To get around this, we created two WBSs. One for timesheet reporting tasks and another for managing the project schedule.
CharlesB1325 It varies. If it's a project with an actual schedule, or budget we create a separate project. However, if it is just to track time spend support an application/product the PM may create task to represent multiple apps/products. It really just depends on how we want to display the data in our Power BI reports.
We also do something similar where we have additional WBSs for Forecasting, Resource Allocations, etc. information. All the data: planned work/costs (by day) is pulled into our Power BI reports to generate a variety of reports.
