Automation Time tracking for number of days on creation

Alexey Byzov

Good day!

Can anybody help on how to create an automation.

We have a project, tracking all users vacation request. So when a user create a task in vacation request, there are 2 custom date fields vacation start date and vacation end date.

Can automation update Time tracking adding 8 hours to each day in period between dates and add comment "Vacation" when issue is created?

Could be very useful. Thank you.

PS: I can create automation upon creation to add 8h on specific day, but not a time period.

Hi @Alexey Byzov 

Please try using the date / time difference function to do that, using the units of measure of businessDays, and perhaps then multiplied by the 8h per day using the function multiply()

That value could then be entered using the Log Work action.  You may provide the amount, date started, and a comment.  But you cannot specify a range of dates.
