    TempoLab If “Users can move worklogs when accounts are not linked to the destination project” has been disabled and any of the selected worklogs are associated with an account not linked to the destination project, you will need to select a new account before continuing.

  5. Click Move Worklogs.

  6. TempoLab If you have the Tempo Administrator permission AND have Override Mode enabled, you might be prompted to acknowledge that Override Mode is enabled.

  7. You are prompted to confirm your changes.

A success message is displayed after the worklogs are moved, or an error message is displayed if the operation fails with the individual attributes.

For those worklogs that are successfully moved, the total number of worklogs and hours are added to the existing worklogs on that Jira issue.
