I start to think like you that the hierarchy could be just only on the
project.work and not on timesheet.work.
For timesheet we could maybe just create a group field.

I don't think so because:
- reference field doesn't work an editable list
- it makes thinks more complex to the user who has to first select a
model before selecting the task.

Agree for hierarchy see before.

This one will have no usage if hierarchy is dropped.

I think it is a good utility and will be usefull also in case of link
between production and work. (You don't want user to enter timesheet for
old production). You can see them as an active field base on time.
