Log work remote action

This action template provides the functionality to log work on an issue in Jira Cloud or Jira on-prem instance.

Configuration

The Issue key parameter defines the issue where the time is intended to be logged.

The Start time parameter defines the starting date time as a Text with the following format: YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:00.000+0000, e.g. 2021-01-17T12:34:00.000+0000. You can easily transform any date to this format by using the parser function dateTimeToString(), e.g.

dateTimeToString({system.currentDateTime}, "YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:00.000+0000", RUN_AS_LANG).

Time spent in seconds

The Time spent in seconds defines the amount of seconds to be logged.

Work description (optional)

The Work description parameter can be used to attach a descriptive comment to the logged work.

Action-specific response options

The response options define values which are taken from the REST response of the executed template.

Value	Description
Worklog ID	Returns the new worklog ID created by the action.

Other default options like Response body, Response status or Set field value manually are available in any mode in the post function.
