I appreciate that lead on alternative methods to generate a free QR code.

I can't see how a static QR code could make a decision.  It seems to me that you need to add records to come kind of child table and have logic with Pipelines to decide what to do with that record.  If you set the User field to default to the current user, then you can probably get the ADDRecord API to default that current user into that field.

I hadn't considered putting the scan into a temporary record, including the Task ID and the User ID, and then running a pipeline against it. It could then figure out whether to clock in, clock out, or even clock out of the old task and clock into the new one. That's a great idea - thanks!
