Worklog filter: show only entries from today, not cumulative for entire issue

Question

I'm using the jira query

worklogDate >= startOfDay() AND worklogAuthor = currentUser()

to show the items I've logged time with today. It almost works. The problem is that the result shows the summary of all work logged against the task, not just those from today. If I worked on something last week and then again this week the cumulative of all time entries are shown in the filter report.

How to show only the items that were logged today? (or any other time period)

Hi @Matt Wilkie

Time Spent is a field which will yield the total amount time spend on that specific issue. Your JQL is correct, but there isn't a field which you can add to your column to show you exactly what you want. If you use the REST api you will be able to get all the info you want, e.g.:

You can use other apps from the marketplace to get the job done, and there could be a couple of free as well.
