Unable to set TimeTracking using JIRA API

[Cristina Del Fabbro]

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

Cheers. So I am guessing I would need to setup and configure a 'crowd' server first of all?

No, because you already have one, sort of. 

JIRA and Confluence have an "embedded crowd" which provides their internal directories.  The embedded crowd can't be extended or used for most other applications, but you can tell a Confluence system to use a JIRA's embedded Crowd.  That's what the doc is about.

If you do that with your Confluence, you will be able to manage your JIRA and Confluence users purely in JIRA.

Ta.

So is it just the below i have to follow?

1. Connect Confluence to a JIRA application:

2.Set up the JIRA user directory in Confluence:

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

Yes, just follow the steps in the second part of the doc.

Is there currently an issue with the site? Can't seem to view several of the support/config docs :(

have a look at status.atlassian.com

I'd hook up Confluence to JIRA's user directory - see https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/connecting-to-crowd-or-jira-for-user-management-229838465.html
