The Log work post function allows creating automatic work logs. 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.

Configuration

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). Enter a valid JQL or issue list parser expression.
Time

You can either enter a number as minutes or a math expression that returns the number of minutes for the time to be logged.

Starting date-time

Enter a math expression that returns a date-time value. It will be used for the starting date-time for the work log.

If leaving blank, the current date-time is used.

Work description

Enter plain text and optionally use field codes to insert field values using the mixed parsing mode.

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

Additional options
Remaining estimate

You have the two following options:

  • Auto adjustment - The issue's remaining estimate will be reduced by the amount of work logged.
  • retain remaining estimate - The issue's remaining estimate will not be updated.
Conditional execution

You can optionally specify a logical expression to define the circumstances (or conditions) under which the post function should be executed.

The result of the logical expression must return a boolean value of either:

  • true → the post function will be executed
  • false → the post function will not be executed

Using the conditional operator, even complex or multi-layered conditions can be constructed.

Make sure to learn more about defining logical expressions and browse through the various examples here: Logical mode
