Can I use Jira Automation to log work for others and have the time recorded as those users?

Saso Kitanovski February 9, 2021

I want to automatically log recurring meeting time for users but I also want to have the time recorded as individual users instead of the 'Automation for Jira' user. This will allow me to report time logged per user and not under the 'Automation for Jira' user.  I'm looking to avoid have an automation rule per user and just having 1 rule for the entire team. Thank you!

you can edit the log work with automation, but only with the user assigned to the rule

you could also edit the work log comment and add there, for which user you logged it
