 Description  « Hide
The ability to categorize our time for logging work would be very beneficial. Currently we have added a custom field to the task for bill as, but this doesn't allow multiple people working an issue to bill that time worked differently.

We too would really need this capability (and as soon as possible, so that we can start migrating work logging into JIRA).

The easiest way to implement it is hinted on in the description: add custom fields to work log comment. As of JIRA 2.1, one can add custom fields only to issues. Actually, you could add custom fields to all actions. This looks very clean from database's POV, but I don't if other actions benefit from having custom fields.

No matter what, I would appreciate if custom fields for work time were refleced nicely in the DB, as we will certainly generate various reports out of this data.

Add a customfield action location (e.g. customfields can be updated in various places)

If we are going to add events for customfields we could add them to the normal fields too. Worth considerding to do together to make the implementation consistent.

If we allow fields to be placed on different action pages then we could show timetracking on resolve page.

What we need is to be able to add custom fields to the Work Log Screen. The fields that we are in need of are:
1. DateOfActivity : a Date Picker
2. Billable : Yes/No Logical Field or a Combo box.

Additionally we are also in need of a facility to enter Time for the Work Log in Bulk. This feature would present a screen with a grid where ther column in the grid would be:

DateOfActivity Hours Bilable Description IssueNumber
Date Picker Numeric Field Yes/No or Combo Free Text List of Issue Currently assigned

A vote for this. We need to get a custom field that the hours was charged as ciritical. We have different prices for critical and non-critical issues.

agreed with the comments here. We want to track the following, inside the same interaction as logging time:
  • direct cost of this time
  • indirect cost of this time

A highly generalised model for this, which would allow us to add these 2 fields ourselves as user defined fields is most desireable.

I haven't come across calculated user defined fields in jira, which would further improve our ability to reflect on the specific resource logging the work and calculate the direct cost from their hourly rate on the project - a project specific personal attribute.

I'm looking at the jira datamodel at the moment to see how we might do this, and will feed back any useful information I find, if any :o)

We need to add custom field to worklog "interest of the task". This field should have following values: interesting/neutral/not interesting.

This would allow us to replace our time tracking system with jira completely.
