This is either a question or a bug report, i'm not sure yet.

When creating worklogs via smart commits, there doesn't seem to be a way of adding the description to the worklog.

What this means is the devs have to...

  • write the commit which includes the #time element to log the time.
  • log into Jira
  • go to the project and task
  • find their worklog entry which is hard as there is no way to identify which one  if they have made multiple commits with the same duration on the same day
  • Edit the worklog entry and add the description in

With smart commits you can use the #comment option, but this is created as a comment against the task and not as the description of the worklog entry.

There is also an option in the settings for time tracking: Copying of comments to work description.  This seemed hopeful, but only when editing this setting does it then say, its only does it when a workflow transition event take place.

The next option was to use the transition with smart commits, such as #in-progress, but it  didnt update the worklog description.

Am i doing something wrong or is this not possible via smart commits?
