To get the total time of a task from the advanced time list that generates a timesheet in Jira, you can follow these general steps:

1. Open the Issue or Task: Go to the specific issue or task for which you want to calculate the total time.

2. View Work Logs: Look for the section where work logs are displayed. This is typically under the "Activity" tab, where you can find a sub-tab or section for "Work Log."

3. Review the Time Logs: Each entry in the work log will show the amount of time logged against the task by different users. These entries are usually in the format of hours and minutes (e.g., 2h 30m).

4. Calculate Total Time: To get the total time spent on the task, you need to sum up all the individual time entries. Some Jira configurations automatically calculate and display this total, but if not, you may need to do it manually or use a reporting plugin.

5. Using Reporting Plugins or Gadgets: Jira has various plugins and gadgets that can help in generating detailed time reports. These tools can automatically sum up the time spent on tasks and generate comprehensive timesheets. For example, Planyway provides time tracking and reporting based on the native time tracking field in Jira.

6. Jira Query Language (JQL): If you're comfortable with JQL, you can write a query to fetch and sum up the time logged against a specific task or a set of tasks.

7. Check Project or Board Reports: Some boards or projects in Jira have built-in reporting features that summarize the time logged across various tasks.

8. Export Data: If manual calculation is too cumbersome, consider exporting the work log data to a spreadsheet for easier calculation.
