Log work to have custom field dropdown with predefined values

jmut jmut

I would like to be able to log work time based on predefined set of categories. For example: research, coding, helping colleagues etc etc.

Currently in time track I only see freestyle description and is not clear how to aggregate time based on that.

Is there way to add such field so I do not have to rely on freestyle textarea description.

Thank you.

There is another way:

• Install Script runner plugin
• Add an additional transition, let's call it 'Log Work' which appears as a button in the issue
• Asssociate a screen with that which show just one drop-down which contains all the types of work that you want to handle (e.g. research coding etc.)
• In the post function of that transition add a scripted post function similar to this one - https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/115221/set-worklog-by-script (you need to add additional if/else or switch/case to decide the number of hours based on the drop-down value selected).
