Creating worklogs for a period of time using the Tempo REST API - Data Center

Question

How do I bulk create worklogs for a period of time

Answer

Worklogs can be created for a period of time by using a Tempo REST API. This can be handy when internal activities like vacation or paternity leave entered and maintained in a third-party application should be duplicated to Tempo/Jira. The Tempo REST API that we will need to use is:

{YourJiraUrl}/rest/tempo-timesheets/4/worklogs

For the API call, you need to use the POST method. The payload should be something similar to:

^{{
"timeSpentSeconds": 12600,
"billableSeconds": 3600,
"started": "2022-02-11",
"endDate": "2022-12-31",
"comment": "creating worklog with REST API",
"worker": "JIRAUSER11000",
"originTaskId": "WIKK-13",
"remainingEstimate": 59400,
"attributes": {
"_Color_":{
"value": "yellow",
"key": "_Color_"
},
"_Account_": {
"value": "201404",
"key": "_Account_"
}
}
}}

The “attributes” section refers to additional work attributes that you might have configured in Tempo. You can skip this section if you do not have any attributes defined.
