How do you enable log work in a next-gen project?

[Lawrence Horwitz]

Does anybody know how to turn on log work functionality in a next-gen project? This is well documented for classic Jira, but I'm not sure how to do it in the next-gen projects.

Hello @Lawrence Horwitz,

As Alexey mentioned this functionality is not on a roadmap but there is an issue to track and vote: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JSWCLOUD-17447

In the meantime, until the feature is added by Atlassian, you might want to use a third-party app that helps with time tracking in both Classic and Next-Gen projects.

Clockwork Automated Timesheets allows tracking time with the manual Start/Stop timer button or automatically when an issue is transitioned between statuses. 

Cheers,
Jack

Does anyone know of a solution that allows you to manually enter time, rather than having a start/stop button like Clockwork?

[Lawrence Horwitz]

I unfortunately couldn't find a free solution to this. We're trying Tempo - but a free solution would be great!

[Jack Hunter _HeroCoders_]

Clockwork should support standard Log Work dialog soon I think.

[Lawrence Horwitz]

When is soon? And will Clockwork stay perpetually free? 

[Pawel from HeroCoders]

In tops 2 weeks there should be some basic support for that.

No promises - Clockwork may become a paid add-on or there will be a paid version with different features. I can't promise your usage will match the free version either. We're still working on pricing and feature scope.

Hello @Lawrence Horwitz,

Clockwork allows entering time manually now in both Next-Gen and Classic projects.

Hello,

These functionality is not available for next-gen projects. And I can not see it on the roadmap:
