How can I reset the worklog via an Automation?

Question

I want to reset the worklog to "0" in certain situations but am unable to find out how to do it.

Untill now I was able to add a certain amount of time, by the following:

{
  "update": {
    "worklog" : [
      {
        "add": {
          "timeSpent" : "6m"
        }
      }
    ]
  }
}

but when I replace "add" by "set" and 6m by 0m it does not work.

Anyone out there how knows how to do it?

Thx in advance!

Hi!

I have not tried this, and I believe you can do this by repeatedly calling the REST API with a web request to delete each entry, in an advanced branch, as Rilwan described below.

Here is an updated reference to the method and a how-to article for calling an API from a rule:

Kind regards,
Bill
