One Smart Commit to add unique time to multiple Jira Items

[MikeH]

Hello,

I have just started looking at Smart Commits for my organization and it looks like it could be quite useful to us.

However one thing I have noticed is that whilst you can affect multiple jira items in the smart commit, its not possible to create a worklog entry for each item.  Instead a single #time tag gets added and the specified time is allotted to all items in the commit.

Is it currently possible to add different #time entries for each item in the smart commit?

Thanks

Hi @MikeH 

I understand that you are wanting to be able to use a single smart commit in order to track two different times against two different Jira work items.  The smart commits cannot do this in a single commit.  It would require separate individual commits per work item if the time logged against each item is different.   

There are some examples of how the smart commits could log the same time against multiple work items in https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/process-issues-with-smart-commits/#Multiple-commands-on-multiple-work-items but this would only work if the time logged is the same for each.

I hope this helps.

Its a shame that we don't have that flexibility when we can commit against multiple work items.

I appreciate your response on this Andy, much appreciated.

So I guess its not possible to add time for each work item referenced in the smart commit message?

Thanks
