Can you create time tracking categories and select them when logging time

[Bill Bertolotti]

I have a requirement to deciminate time between normal work hours and after hours when an agent logs time against a ticket.  Is this possible?

Hello @Bill Bertolotti 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

Native Jira time tracking does not support categorizing the time. That would require addition of a third party app that extends time tracking capabilities.

Hi @Bill Bertolotti 

Welcome to the community!

I understand that you would like to be able to choose what for was the time tracked in a particular case.

I'd like to offer you a solution developed by our team, the HeroCoders. If you're looking for an easy way to track time as well as discern what was done, you might be interested in our app, Clockwork Pro.

It allows you to add custom attributes - tags if you will - to worklogs and then display timesheets that show time spent broken down by those tags. You can also make these fields mandatory. This is what it looks like while adding the worklog: 

Those data can be in a simple way shown in Clockwork Timesheet, or reports, please find below an example using your use case:

If you have any additional questions, related to that topic, let me know.

Cheers!
