Editing Your Worklogs in a Jira Issue

The Tempo panel in the Jira issue view includes a list of worklogs for the selected issue. You can edit these worklogs as long they are within an open timesheet period. You can:

• Edit the hours logged, including moving the hours to another issue

• Split the hours between two issues

• Delete worklogs

Before You Begin

• Editing your own worklogs requires the Edit Own Worklogs permission for the project to which the issue belongs.

• Editing worklogs for other team members requires the Edit All Worklogs permission for the project to which the issue belongs.

• Deleting your own worklogs requires the Delete Own Worklogs permission for the project to which the issue belongs.

• Deleting worklogs for other team members requires the Delete All Worklogs permission for the project to which the issue belongs.

Open the Edit Menu

1. Click the … at the right of the worklog you want to edit.

2. Select an option: Edit, Split, or Delete.

You can press the g+t keys to quickly go to My Work, where you can also edit your workloads as well as manage your time.

Edit the Worklog Information

You can edit any worklog information in the Edit Worklog form. For example, you can change the number of hours logged to an issue.

1. Click the … at the right end of a time record and select Edit.

2. In the Edit Worklog form that opens (which is similar to the Log Time form), correct your worklog.

3. Click Update to save your changes.

Moving Logged Hours to Another Jira Issue

If you logged time on the incorrect Jira issue, you can move the hours logged on that issue to another one. This saves you from deleting the worklog and creating a new one.

1. Click the … at the right end of a worklog whose Jira issue you want to change and select Edit.

2. In the Issue Key dropdown at the top, select the issue to which you want to move the hours.

3. Click Update to save your changes. The logged hours are moved to the issue you selected.

Splitting Worklogs Between Two Issues

Splitting allows you to divide the time logged in a worklog between two Jira issues.

1. Click the … at the right end of a worklog and select Split.

2. In the Split Worklog dialog, select the issue with which you want to share the logged hours.

3. In the Worked box, select the number of hours that should be logged to the target issue.

   

4. Enter a new remaining estimate for the target issue, if needed.

5. Click Split. The time is divided between the current Jira issue and the target issue. 

Deleting Worklogs

1. Click the … at the right end of a worklog and select Delete.

2. In the confirmation box, click Delete.

If you delete a Jira issue, the associated worklogs are also removed.
