worklog timespent by user by issue JQL

[Nestor Urquiza]

Hello,

Does it make sense to open a feature request to include the worklog details we get with /rest/api/latest/issue/59022/worklog when we actually use something like /rest/api/2/search?jql=createdDate > "2014/1/1"&expand=worklog ?

It would be great if JIRA REST API return more detailed information for all bugs contained in a JQL. The expand parameter works with custom fields but I can't figure how to expand the worklog. Getting the results of the JQL and iterating one issue at the tiem to get the worklog details is overkilling.

I know you can do this with paid plugins but such functionality I believe should be provided out of the box.

Thoughts?

Thanks,

- Nestor

As explained in https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-36716this is actually something already provided when using &fields=worklog, a different story is that I would like to have the full list of fields and expand available which I could not find so far. If anybody can share some light on that it would be great!

Thanks,

- Nestor

BUMP! Should we open a feature request?

Wherever REST is lacking and you've got an improvement for it, yes.

@Nic Brough -Adaptavist- 

Hi, sorry to bother you after ... 8 years? The reason why this happens is because I am trying to retrieve a jira report according to our own requirements, and I happen to meet the same question with @Nestor Urquiza .

Since this post is created 8 years ago and I did not find any more useful info on atlassian website. I am wondering if something like 'expand=worklog' is already available for search API (I am using jira-python).

1. From what I read from jira-python API doc, when using ```search_issues``` if ```field``` is as default, it should include all the parameters for field. (even though it seems that ```worklog``` is excluded from the fact.)

2. from all the information I found so far, I think until now 'worklog' should work for ```search_issue(..., field='worklog')``` but not available for ```search_issue(..., expand='worklog')```, right? just want to get your answer to double confirm this situation.)

The REST API returns the worklog when you use the expand function.

I don't know what your jira-python is doing, I've never used it.
