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.

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

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.
