I use tempo timesheets but i cant block the log time when exceeded the estimate plan, i was looking for a way to block this so i create an automation to compare the time spent field with the estimate field, and i would like to know if there's anyway to pop up a screen with a message or delete the worklog if time spent>Estimate, or another way or add-on where is possible to do that.
Hello @Guilherme de Oliveira Viol
Why specifically do you want to prevent logging time? What are you trying to achieve with that?
Logging time usually occurs after the time has already been worked. If you prevent users from logging time or delete time logged then you are losing data about actual time spent working on the issue.
for example, i have an issue on a project with one hour estimate, if the user register two hours something went wrong and the extra hour will be taken from the project manager account, because its a project with a closed scope.

It seems to me that you need to address this with your users rather than trying to address it with customizations to the product. Educate your users to look at the estimate on the task and stop work when they have spent that much time on the task. If the task requires more time to complete have a process for the user to alert the project manager that more time is needed. If the users are still logging more time than they should, you can use a Filter Subscription or an Automation Rule to receive alerts about it and address it interactively.
However, if you are committed to your current course of action, this is my feedback.
I'm not aware of a native method to selectively disable logging of time in that manner.
I am also not aware of a predefined action in Automation Rules that would allow you to selectively delete an entire work log record. There is a Send Web Request action that would allow you to interact with the Jira REST API, which would allow you to delete a worklog. You would first have to identify the specific worklog you need to delete.
Alternately you could modify the time spent on the last work log entry made when that entry causes the total time to exceed the Estimate. You can operate on the specific Work Log Entry by having a rule that uses the Work Logged trigger.
I have not tested those options on a system that includes Tempo Timesheets.
