How do I ensure that the Worklog duration does not exceed the remaining time?

[Muhammed Niyazi ALPAY]

Hello,

I want to block the description field from opening if the entered worklog time is more than the remaining time. Can you suggest a plugin where I can do this?

Hi @Muhammed Niyazi ALPAY

Welcome to the community.

Can you share your use-case? Worklog duration is used to report how much time something really took. If you limit it by your estimate, you lose the ability to assess how accurate your estimates are, so I'd recommend against it.

Having said that, I have no experience with the Scriptrunner so sadly I cannot guide you to the desired solution, but if you share more details perhaps I or someone else will be able to help you.

Cheers!

for example: this issue have a 1 week time. when I enter 2w to time spent field I want to block the description field from opening.

if the employee has spent more than 1 week, he/she should request additional time from his/her manager. As far as I can see, the Scriptrunner plugin triggers the script when the event is completed.

Maybe you'd want to send the manager an email notification when that happens instead? This could be either an automated request for approval or just a heads-up that someone overlogged. 

This should be possible with Advanced compare block - you could do it like this:

Trigger: Work logged.

Advanced compare:
When:
{{issue.timetracking.timespent}}

greater than 

{{issue.timetracking.originalestimate}}

Action:

Send email.

It does not do what you ask, but may be useful in your scenario.

Cheers!

Hi @Muhammed Niyazi ALPAY please try Scriptrunner by Adaptavist.

You can write a behaviour in Groovy scripting language to achieve this in about 9 minutes.

I'm trying this plugin, but it doesn't work for what I said.
