Work Log with "No charge"

Description of use case

Idea - create a field which:

* has to be populated
* is a drop down field, probably with customer configurable values
* is used - in case a specific value is set - to indicate the the corresponding work log should not be charged

a) go to reporting
b) select WLA/ CF Charge descision
c) select the value you want (if you leave it blank, you get all values).
You need to select the WLA to get it displayed in the result list. If you do not check any option, the WLA-Filter will not be applied, but the field will be displayed.
