Is there a way to add subtask descriptions to a Time Tracking Report?

Lily Sawyer January 6, 2022

When pulling a Time Tracking Report is there a way to show the description of the subtask within the report?

 

For example, when pulling the report for the project you can see sub tasks (example 1) but cannot see the detail that been logged within the description area (example 2).

Hello @Lily Sawyer ,

I represent Worklogs Time Tracking and Reports addon and I would be happy to hear more about your needs. Our app allows you to create custom reports based on Jira issue fields and Time Logs. With Worklogs you can check how much time was spent on each subtask, or tasks with specific label, priority or custom field data.  

Unfortunately, we do not allow to show the Jira issue description in the report. Instead, you can easily open the issue in a separate tab by clicking on it's title in the report.

Therefore, I am curious if you could tell me what would you like to achieve or learn with your report? What is the reason why you would need to have the description alongside with the time logs?

Hello @Lily Sawyer, it's Tania from the Planyway team, and I just wanted to let you know about the option to export data using Planyway. The Excel report will include the description of the subtasks as well:

I'll be here if you need any help or have questions.

Hi @Lily Sawyer 
If you are willing to give a try to a third-party app, you can try eazyBI for Jira app.
It allows creating a time spent report of logged hours where you can drill through worklogs to see comments that have been logged.

Or in case you have some classified information in worklog comments, you can also use an approach of importing worklog comment dimension in eazyBI: https://docs.eazybi.com/eazybi/data-import/data-from-jira/jira-custom-fields/javascript-calculated-custom-fields#JavaScriptcalculatedcustomfields-Calculatedworklogcustomfield

@Lily Sawyer Welcome to the Atlassian Community

Unfortanitatly that is not an option on the delivered report.  There are third-party reporting apps that would allow you to do that.  You might also look at creating a filter in Jira to get the information you are after and then combining the information in excel off of the issue key.
