How to track time automagically?

Question

I would like to track time without the need for a developer to manually input start and stop times.

I can't see why this would be a problem but it seems to be that the only way to do this is by manually "clocking in" and "clocking out" when a task is updated across the workflow.

Please tell me I'm being an idiot.

Hi Emily, sorry I have only just come back to this thread. The cost is worked out here

I have 70 Jira users, so at $0.55 per user per month

= $38.50 per month

= $462 per year

Michael - How is the $300 calculated? I'm trying to figure out how much this would cost for my company to implament.  
(Can't believe this is something we have to pay to add - How can time tracking be accurate if the 'amount of time spent' is just manually put in? That time could just be made up. )

Thanks for that. I have started the free trial. I find it dissapointing that this very simple bit of functionality is going to cost me an extra $300 a year.
