I agree how this feature would be good to have in QuickBooks Online (QBO), Tmoore. While the lack of the dialogue box can make things challenging, QBO has a feature called Labor Costing for Projects that allows you to assign actual payroll costs directly to specific projects as an alternative approach. 

This method helps you calculate and track detailed labor costs tied to tasks like the paving work you mentioned.  It allows businesses to associate actual payroll costs (including wages, taxes, and benefits) with specific projects or tasks for more accurate job costing. By linking employee hours worked to projects through QuickBooks Time and payroll data, you can identify the true cost of each task and improve profitability tracking. 

Here’s an article that explains how this feature works: NEW for QuickBooks Online: Labor Costing for Projects!

On the other hand, I encourage you to submit your suggestions directly to our product development team through the Feedback option in QBO. This helps guide future updates and improvements, including bringing back features like the dialogue box for estimating labor costs. Follow these steps:

1. Go to Settings and select Feedback.
2. Enter your comments or product suggestions. Then select Next to submit feedback.
