timesheets.update
Fix a time entry that is not approved: its start, end, category, job, visit or notes. A rejected entry goes back to waiting for approval. A running clock's end is set with timesheets.clockOut. Approved time is locked; the owner can reopen it with timesheets.reopen.

When to use it
Keep the crew's time: timesheets.clockIn starts a clock on a job (category work) or for drive, shop or break time, and timesheets.clockOut stops it; one clock runs per person per shop (pass stop_running to switch). Forgotten time goes in with timesheets.add (start and end, at most 24 hours per entry); time never overlaps the same person's other time.
