Logging time spent based on issue status with automation rule

Meital Adir_j0tzh8

Hello,

I would like to update time spent on issue with automation rule, 

based on the issue status:

If the status is "In progress" time spent should be 50% from the original estimate 

and if the status is Done - 100% of original estimate. 

I've tried the following in advanced edit issue action: 

{
"update": {
"worklog" : [
{
"add": {
"timeSpent" : "{{issue.fields.originalEstimate.divide(2)}}d"
}
}
]
}
}

and got this error: (Invalid time duration entered. (worklog_timeLogged))

Any idea how to use smart value/JSON for this use case?

Thanks

Hi @Meital Adir 

What problem are you trying to solve by doing this?

People use Jira work logging to record the actual time working on an issue.  That actual time can be later compared to original estimates for various purposes.

If you are just recording the time based upon status transitions, it seems like you are using the feature as a percent complete indicator, or as something like "standard task times" for billing only.

Best regards,

Bill
