Update harvest time recorded for a task in Jira in the Time tracking

[Oliver Cortinas]

There is a way to update the field Time Tracking on the JIRA tasks with the hours registered in Harvest from the Harvest Time Tracking entries? We use that but the Time Tracking field remains on 0.

So, the final answer is: It is possible and works reliably.

You can also pass multiple attributes per object type:

{
    "software": [
        {"name": "SW1", "vendor": "MS"},
        {"name": "SW2", "vendor": "MS"},
        {"name": "SW3", "vendor": "Adobe"}
    ],
    "computer": [
        {
            "name": "Computer 1",
            "software": "SW1||SW3"
        }
    ]
}

And since everything is nicely together in one file, you only need one import configuration.

Well, You will not. :-) Here is a post from me, that could help you (subsequent imports need to be done), but as discussed with RIada - there are currently no options to CREATE referenced objects on imports - the only upgrade of this functionality they think of currently is maybe some sequencing imports to allow creating referenced objects first and then relate to them.

Thanks for your reply, but apparently you are wrong here. Let me explain:

{
    "software": [
        {"name": "SW1"},
        {"name": "SW2"},
        {"name": "SW3"},
        {"name": "SW4"},
        {"name": "SW5"},
        {"name": "SW6"},
        {"name": "SW7"},
        {"name": "SW8"},
        {"name": "SW9"},
        {"name": "SW10"}
    ],
    "computer": [
        {
            "name": "Computer 1",
            "software": "SW1||SW3"
        }
    ]
}

Using this as an import file and setting up the mappings (Computer with selector = computer; Software with selector = software) will yield the expected results: After the import finishes, there will be 1 computer with 2 references to software.

When you clean out both object types, this can be reproduced several times.

Do you are doing EXACTLY what we have discuss with Riada - sequencing import. SW objects go first. Then you create PC with referencje to just create, but already EXISTING SW objects. :)
