We have a need for structured time tracking. We plan to bill down to the tertiary level: project>phase> high-level task. I would love to get this in Jira so the team can log time without changing applications. Since our tasks in Jira are more granular, my hope is there is a way to add a time tracking code (associated with high-level task) to each Jira issue. It would also be nice to map the issue summary field to the time tracking application as the description or comment field.
Our company is going with ebillity time tracker which has some zapier connections AND open API. There doesn't appear to be a marketplace cloud app.
Does anyone have any recommendations or customizations they have completed in the past? Have you created custom fields for Jira issues? What's the workflow like for time tracking at your company?
