Use case
In this example, the Log work post function will be used to log work on another ticket.
In this case there is an Jira ticket for each employee. In addition, "Absence" tickets can be created for a specific day. If this ticket gets approved, 8 hours will be logged on the related employee ticket.
The employee ticket must have the summary "Employee <username>".
Prerequisites
First, we have to create a date custom field to enter the absence day.
Configuration
Add the Log work post function to the desired transition or create a new transition.
Target issue
Choose Set target issue manually
Expression
Enter the following expression with mode set to JQL:
summary ~ "Employee %{issue.reporter}"
Time spent
Enter the following number:
480
Since the time spent must be entered in minutes and 8h correspond to 480 minutes, this number has to be entered.
Starting date-time
Enter the following expression:
stringToDate(%{issue.cfnnnnn} + " 08:00", "yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm")
cfnnnnn is the field code for the Absence day custom field we've previously created.
Update the field code to the corresponding field code on your instance!
Work description
Enter a description like the following:
Absence
Feel free to change the description according to your needs!
Additional options
Remaining estimate
Choose Auto adjustment
Conditional execution
Finally, we add a conditional execution so that the post function will only be executed if the issue's summary is "Absence".
%{issue.summary} ~ "Absence"
