New milestone, but hourly

Hi guys.
I have a contract with single milestone complete. First milestone was fixed-price. I'd like to add another milestone payed on hourly basis, but I'm only allowed to set fixed price. I have already logged time for that contract in the app. Is there a way to submit those hours to my client?

Hi Milan,

 

When you`re hired on fixed price contract you will not be able to charge your client based on hours worked, at the moment we don't have this option. 
If there's a need for tracking your time you can communicate with your client about getting hired on another (hourly) contract. Thank you.

Hours logged on a fixed rate contract are meaningless. They do not count, they are not billed or charged. You have to get the client to either fund another milestone for the hours logged, or pay you as a bonus. A fixed rate contract is ONLY based on milestones, and an hourly contract ONLY on hours. Mixing them in one contract frequently ends in disappointment.

It's an old client, I'm sure we'll make an agreement, so no problems with that.
I was just wondering if this fixed/hourly mixing is possible, since I find it handy.

Now I know how to put it in the future, thank you.
