Unable to set TimeTracking using JIRA API

Cristina Del Fabbro
January 20, 2022
Hi all, 
I have a problem with editing issue trying to set originalEstimate using API.
I'm using basic authentication for user with admin pemission, I create a new issue making POST call to this url {{jira_url}}/rest/api/3/issue with the following body 
{

    "fields": {

        "project":

        {

            "key": "XXX"

        },

        "summary": "Marketing Advertising",

        "description": {

      "type": "doc",

      "version": 1,

      "content": [

        {

          "type": "paragraph",

          "content": [

            {

              "text": "Analisi e Definizione Contenuti strategico. Analisi della concorrenza, studio della percezione dell'immagine e dell'identità aziendale presso il \"pubblico\", analisi del mercato di appartenenza e conseguente definizione delle strategie di comunicazione e del marketing operativo. Determinazione e definizione dell'organizzazione dei documenti strategici commerciali (Cross media strategy - Concept publishing). Definizione dei contenuti per la la predisposizione delle CH.",

              "type": "text"

            }

          ]

        }

      ]

    },

        "issuetype": {

            "name": "Task"

        }

    }

}
and then I update the issue created making a PUT call to this url {{jira_url}}/rest/api/2/issue/{{issueKey}} with the following body


    "fields": {

        "timetracking": [

            {

                "edit": {

                    "originalEstimate": "3d 0h"

                }

            }

        ]

    } 

}
The result message is 
{

    "errorMessages": [],

    "errors": {

        "timetracking": "Field 'timetracking' cannot be set. It is not on the appropriate screen, or unknown."

    }

}
but if I try to set originalEstimate by UI interface I can do that. How I can enable timetracking field globally?
Note that:
- I have verified on Settings > Issues > TimeTracking and seems to be enabled

- I have added Timetracking field on Settings > Issues > Screen for Kanbug Bug Screen and Kanban Default Issue Screen

Hi @zoha khoshnoodi,

I think It is currently not possible to set this, refer to the following

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JSWSERVER-9833
