For anyone using DC who is looking to hide the "Work log" tab follow the steps in the link below. This link still states this is NOT possible in the Cloud.

I think it was very wrong decision to close this issue. It forces OnDemand users such as our company to switch back to JIRA Server which I think is a regression. Basically this issue makes it impossible to have any timesheet workflow within JIRA. Timesheet management is required for most companies above certain level of size. Would you be able to reopen this issue or think about some workaround solution for OnDemand users?

What's the status of this? It is 4 years since this item was created !!!

Thanks for everyone's feedback and votes.

We've taken a look and we've decided that we won't be working this feature in the near future. We will be focusing our development efforts on other work that we believe will deliver a better overall experience.

Please note that votes is one of the determining factors that we use to plan our roadmaps, for a full description please read our blog post: https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/110373/how-does-the-jira-team-use-jira-atlassian-com.

We hope you understand and appreciate our honesty on these requests.

Thanks,

This is also a big issue for us with OnDemand-Version.
Can You plz give feedback how long its gonna take?

This is still an issue 3/March/2014 in OnDemand. Should I instruct all users to use one link over the other? Can I disable JIRA Timesheets for OnDemand or does that hose Tempo?

There is a way to disable this module in the Downloaded version of JIRA, but apparently not in OnDemand by the local admin. Does anyone know if Atlasssian would disable this in on OnDemand instance if a support request were submitted?

@sverrir - there is no "Issue Operations Plugin", see:
jira-6.1-manage-addons.jpg

Version is: Atlassian JIRA (v6.1#6144-sha1:2e50328)

I have this problem on JIRA onDemand, is it correct that the workaround solution does not work for JIRA onDemand customers?
When trying to disable the "View Issue Ops Bar Work Link" I just see a message "Module cannot be modified".

New location for the Ops bar Work Link
Admin > Add-ons > Manage add-ons > change filter from User Installed to System > look for Issue Operations Plugin > click on it > press + > disable View Issue Ops Bar Work Link
