Update timespent on issue that isn't the active issue with automation

Question

In short, using smart values in automation is it possible to update an issue other than the issue that triggered the automation?

Reason i ask:  I create one issue at the beginning of the week e.g. AZ-123 and I manually update the timespent by 5 minutes everytime I assign an issue.

Thanks.

Hi @Petersen, Thomas ,

I'm glad that I was able to share some useful knowledge. As for whitelisting, you may want to work with your org admin and Atlassian Support Team to get this sorted out. I have never seen anyone report similar issue before.

Fingers crossed you get to automate it after all!

Cheers

@Wojciech Wardaszko I suspect your solution would will solve my issue, however I'm getting the "The IP address has been rejected because it is not on the allowedlist" message. Sometimes ya' gotta' choose your battles. ;-)

Thank you for the insight about the API though, looks pretty powerful.

Thank you! This looks promising but I won't get a chance to try it until later this week. I'll definitely let you know,
