How do I programmatically update estimates with Tempo add-on installed?

Toolie Garner November 16, 2018

My company has Tempo installed as a JIRA add-on in the cloud. I have been trying cURL commands repeatedly to update the Remaining Estimate field visible in the Backlog, but nothing I do gets that field to reflect my programmatic updates.

I'm getting HTTP 201 (created) and HTTP 200 (updated) responses that indicate that the data IS being updated. I can do an HTTP GET that proves that the data is there.

{"key":"timetracking","value":{"originalEstimateSeconds":14400,"remainingEstimateSeconds":14400}}

But it will not display those values within an individual task unless I manually type in the value in the Backlog field shown above.

I have over 5,000 tasks to update, and this is NOT a field you can update using the Bulk update function.

Can someone explain why the values aren't being updated? Is Tempo interfering? If so, which fields in Tempo do I need to update?
