Is there a way to automatically calculate current user's vacation time limit

[anton]

In our company every user has 15 days off per year for their vacation. Is there a way to automatically see how many days left for the particular user? All people track their vacation time in one particular JIRA issue (via log work).

You can use the REST API and some programming to grab the "timeSpentSeconds" information from the returned JSON:

baseURL/rest/api/2/issue/issuekey/worklog

Is there a way to store that limit inside user custom parameter?

And probably create a script that will update all users in our JIRA server automatically?

I am not aware of any JIRA functionality to add user parameters out of the box.

If you have your own JIRA server (not Cloud), you can write and install your own JIRA add-on to do pretty much whatever you want, but then you end up having to maintain that add-on for possibly every upgrade.

Not sure if any of the available add-ons would provide what you need.

You could also give each user an issue with an original estimate of 15 days to book personal vacation against. Your remaining estimate is what is left for that user.
