I'm working on a custom script to import tickets from another system to Jira.
That other systems has a field "actual effort". It's basically the amount of days someone spent on that ticket.
In Jira this could be translated to a worklog entry. I could make one via the script but there is no relevant date or worklog author.
Hence my question: is there a way to add the total amount of logged work on an issue without worklog entry? Or is "Logged Work" directly calculated from the worklogs.
In this example "Logged" is based on the difference between "Estimated" and "Remaining". But I can not find a way to set this programmatically.
