How do I use the Rest API to change the logged time of an issue

Question

I want to make a post request so that time tracked remotely on another application can be sent to Jira to update the logged time in an Issue.

I am using Node.js and need to know the body for such a request. (transition ID, key words, etc.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hi @Mack Carr

a check the REST API docs for issue/worklog

I’be found the quickest way to get to grip with a rest call is to install the REST api browser free plugin and try out various options
