Retrieve the date enter while logging work

[Muhammad Moazzam Hassan]

Hi,

I need a little help, I need to retrieve the Date Started value when anyone logs the work on any issue using the Time Tracking field.

I need to retrieve via automation rule like we can access the time spent by using the smart value {{{worklog.timeSpentSeconds}}.

Hi @Muhammad Moazzam Hassan  You have to use this smartvalue : 

{{worklog.started}} to get worklog date.

Thank You.

I have one more question, if you may answer.

Can we retrieve the old value of Time Spent and Date Started if someone Edit the worklog and change the timespent and Date Started?

@Muhammad Moazzam Hassan  Glad to hear I am able to help you!

I am not sure any smart value can retrieve old value for worklog. For other field we can get old value using changelog, but for worklog it won't work. You can use REST API to get worklog initially create date and current date.
