Need constraint for time tracking.

Sergey Zinchenko

Hello, everyone.

While setting up jira, I ran into a task. Have to constraint minimum and maximum estimation time.

Every task must be solved within 4 working hours or must be decomposed into smaller tasks.

Set validation during transaction between through statuses, but can't find any global validation rules for fields.

Many thanks for any help.

Hello Sergey,

Welcome to Atlassian community.

Unfortunately, there's no way to restrict the time logged per issue on JIRA, since all validation happens with transitions, however, I was able to find a similar workaround with the add-on Automation for JIRA.

These would be the steps:

- Install the Automation for JIRA plugin

- Create a new status in your workflow

- allow all the status to move to this one and restrict the transition to be performed only by the JIRA Automation user

- Create two automation rules, setting the transition to the status you created:

Configuring the automation rules above, the issue will keep moving back to the created status while it has more than 4 hours logged and will not be able to proceed in the workflow.

Let me know if this information helps.
