JQL to Identify Time Logged by Individual

Question

Good morning! I've come across a few answers but maybe there's an update. Is there a way to query the time logged by a specific user in Jira? worklogauthor() = {user} and the resulting Time Spent field brings back all the time logged, not just the time logged by the specific user entered.

Any ideas? I know there are add-ons with this information but if there's a way to get the same information through JQL and a dashboard gadget, that would be the preference - thanks!

Using 3rd party apps to query jira is second rate

Seriously - it should be an easy solution

Hello @Jason Christina

Thank you for reaching out.

Indeed, today Jira has a limitation in the way we can search the amount of worklog by author. In fact, Jira JQL is designed to only return whole issues, not including restriction to time spent or any other fields.

We have the following feature request to implement this functionality:

Search by work log user entries

Feel free to vote and watch the suggestion to increase its priority and also receive notifications about any updates.

Just as you said, the only available workaround today would be to use a third-party app from our Atlassian Marketplace that can provide the amount of time spent based on the worklog author through a report. Here are some options:
