Can I add to workflow automatic "Log Work" when transitioning in/out of "IN PROGRESS"?I'd like to automate the work log time.
Thanks
You would need an add-on like Power Scripts or ScriptRunner. You could create your custom postfunction and log time from this post function.
If you have Power Scripts then your post function would look like this:
"2h", currentDate(), "test worklog");addWorklogAdjustEstimate(key, currentUser(),
"2h"
, currentDate(),
"test worklog"
);
Thanks for the swift reply.I assume there's nothing within the basic Jira.Which scripting tool/add-on would you recommend?
Like Alexey has pointed out it's either Power Scripts or ScriptRunner. I suppose JMWE will work too.
@Ivan Tovbinis right. I can just add that each add-on has it is own pros and cons. Moreover I used only Power Scripts and Scriptrunner. Power scripts has its own language and this language hides Jira architecture. You do not need to know anything about Jira to write a script in Power Scripts. But you can do in Power Scripts only what the language lets you do.
In ScriptRunner there are predefined functions but I mostly write my own scripts because it is easier for me. And you will have to know Jira Java Api and Jira architecture to write scripts in Scriptrunner.
In my opinion scripts in Power Scripts are shorter, easier to understand and scripts in Power Scripts will work on any Jira verision. But Scriptrunner is more powerful. It is up to you what to choose. As I said each of them has pros and cons. I would recommend you to try to write a script in both add-ons and choose.
