Changing issues and worklogs discretely

[Martin S]

Hello,

I am trying to change certain worklog and issue properties via the web action. So far I am using WorklogManager to update the existing worklog and IssueManager to update the issue, but I would like hide all the changes from the system, i.e. Activity stream etc. I do not seem to be able to do that using these managers:

worklogManager.update(user, worklog, null, false)

changes issue's time logged which I want to change myself and

issueManager.updateIssue(user, issue, EventDispatchOption.DO_NOT_DISPATCH, false)

estimate changes still appear in the Activity stream. Is there some kind of workaround to hide the changes from JIRA?

Thanks,

Martin

I suspect you'll have to rewrite base code. Frankly, trying to hide information like this goes totally against the idea of an activity log/audit trail and could be viewed as an attempt at fraud if this is used on a government contract or ever audited for billing irregularities

I see your point and as long as JIRA is your leading system there is no reason why one should have to do a change discretely. However, if you were to use another system for worklogs and needed to synchronize the two, this could be a desired behavior (since you only want the history of the last sync).

Have you had any luck finding an answer?

Hello, unfortunately I haven't. The point of trying to make JIRA behave like this was to be able to move work logs from one issue to another making it seem as if the work was only logged to the latter in the very beginning. Without it, it looks like: logged the original - deleted the original - logged the copy.
