Automatic work logging: Start Date is set to End Date

[Michel Pittelkow]

Hi there,

I'm working with the automated work log Feature of the Eclipse Connector, when working on an Issue in Jira. When I finished the work, the popup for entering the information appears.

The field for starting date/time is automatically set to the current time, but the starting date was X hours/minutes ago. Is it possible to automatically set the date to the time I activated work on the Issue? I don't want to log the starting time on a second note or something like that.

Thanks in advance

Thanks Michel,

Now I can see that. I have reported an issue for the Eclipse Connector: https://studio.atlassian.com/browse/PLE-1339

Cheers,

Jacek

Hello Michel,

Unfortunately there is currently no way to set start time to the time when issue was activated.

May I ask how do you use start time value after reporting?

Cheers,

Hi Jacek,

currently there are two time/date fields in the log entry on jira's work logged tab. The time I logged the work and the time it started. It wouldn't make any sence to me if there were both fields with the same time. As I view the time between an issue was activated and closed, I also want to see, how long the work lasted on that issue. If the automatic time log field is set to current time when stopping the work there is a high potential that manually entered time values are not precise enough for valuable output data.

Thanks,

Michel

Hi Michel,

Can you post a small screenshot how it looks like? I can see only one pair of time/date on the worklog tab.

Cheers,

Sure,

the second date/time appears on mouse hover:
