TransactionBatch scrips just run after all the transactions in an
update are done, they don't have to do with changing transactions.
Also, the TransactionBatch scrip would require you to iterate through
all the related transactions to find the right one to update, while
the On Correspond scrip living in TransactionCreate would get the
right transaction automatically.

As noted by Maciej - far and away the easiest thing is to use a
callback or some JS to insert a default into the UpdateTimeWorked on
Update.html.  You can do it from a Scrip, but you have to use a hammer
to update the Transactions.
