How to display Tempo Fields in Issue Screen

Question

We have Tempo up and running just fine, but the problem is the only access on each task is "Open Tempo" at the bottom of the task and there appears to be no way to show any work log details from Tempo in the task itself, so a user must dig into the "Open Tempo" interface to see/work with the tempo logging system.

How can I display values (work logged, etc.) from Tempo in the root task screen/interface? What I'd really like is to have the Tempo UI (that you have to click to open at the bottom of the task by default) open by default and shown at the top of the fields list.

Thanks for the reply, @Chris Chappelear _Tempo_. Is there any way to show the total time logged value in the issue sidebar without having to click on anything?

Hello! There are a couple different options other than ‘Open Tempo’ on the right hand side. One would be clicking the circled check mark at the top of the issue.

By clicking the check mark, a Tempo worklog section below opens.

This action will need to be done once per ticket and will affect anyone else that opens the ticket.

Worklogs are also always visible in the Worklogs tab.

Worklog visibility is controlled by permissions so users will not be able to see other users worklogs unless they have the proper permissions.

If you have any other questions, feel free to reach out.

I haven't been able to find a solution for this either. What makes it worse is that it seems like the default Jira time tracking feature allows you to show the data in bars within the issue sidebar. Insult to injury? Perhaps we need to switch back.
