[REST API] Retrieve Worklog Issue

Steven Lee_0y44ud

I have an issue/ticket with more than 20 worklogs (around 42 worklogs including the oldest one).

Now, I sent a request to retrieve those worklogs using GET method and this URL https://xxyyzz.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/issue/<issue>/worklog

All worklogs were retrieved but some description seem incorrect. Those description were all "time-tracking". It seems that JIRA has hidden or changed the correct value.

Question is how will I be able to retrieve the correct comments?

Is this an issue with JIRA REST API?

Could you please post a screenshot?

Here's what a typical worklog looks like (sensitive information removed), and you should probably look for the 'comment'.

{
 "self": "",
 "author": {
 "self": "",
 "name": "",
 "key": "",
 "emailAddress": "",
 "avatarUrls": {
 "48x48": "",
 "24x24": "",
 "16x16": "",
 "32x32": ""
 },
 "displayName": "",
 "active": true,
 "timeZone": ""
 },
 "updateAuthor": {
 "self": "",
 "name": "",
 "key": "",
 "emailAddress": "",
 "avatarUrls": {
 "48x48": "",
 "24x24": "",
 "16x16": "",
 "32x32": ""
 },
 "displayName": "",
 "active": true,
 "timeZone": ""
 },
 "comment": "this is the worklog description you should be looking for",
 "created": "",
 "updated": "",
 "started": "",
 "timeSpent": "",
 "timeSpentSeconds": 0,
 "id": "",
 "issueId": ""
 }

Hope this helps.

Hi @Shaakunthala,

Please take a look at the example above.

In this example, the comments should be in this format:

This is the (worklog order) worklog of this issue

The 1st worklog (not shown above) and up to the 20th worklog, they displayed the correct comment.

However, starting from the 21st worklog (not shown above) and up to the 42nd worklog, they all showed 'time-tracking' as the comment which is not the right one.

Note: I didn't removed some information as it might be a factor to this issue.

Gotcha! "is.origo.jira.tempo-plugin"

This is new to me. Looks like you are using Tempo for time tracking. Do you see the correct comment in the JIRA user interface? In that case probably Tempo is storing worklog comment in the plugin data store. To drill down, we need to find the "AO_.*" table in the database that corresponds to Tempo.

However, that doesn't solve your problem. Try installing JIRA Rest API Browser add-on and uncheck "Show only Public APIs". This might help you to find a REST API endpoint (if provided by Tempo) which is capable of retrieving the correct description/ comment.

Thanks,

Shaakunthala
