The Log work post function allows creating automatic work logs when triggering transitions. Math expressions as complex as needed can be used to calculate the time to be logged, and custom parsed texts can be used for the comment.

In this documentation and the post function configuration you will notice the symbol ( * ) next to some parameters, it means that this field is mandatory and shall not be left empty. Fields without the symbol are optional.

Basic configuration*

Below you will find a detailed description of each parameter of the basic configuration of the function.

Target issue*

Select the issue(s) to log work on. The following options are available:

  • Current issue
  • Parent issue
  • Sub-tasks
  • Sibling sub-tasks
  • Linked issues
  • Linked epic
  • Issues under epic
  • Sibling issues under epic
  • Set target issue manually (parser expression)

Time*

The expression must return the logged time in minutes.

Starting date-time

The expression must return the starting date-time of the work log entry. In case no expression is entered, the current date-time is used.

Work description

Enter plain text and optionally use field codes to insert field values.


You can try your expression by clicking on the play button on the top right of the JQL expression box.

  • Auto adjustment - The remaining estimate will be reduced by the amount of work logged.
