How to force a story status to change from ToDo -> InProgress when user logs time

[Scott Hassell]

Some users are not moving a story status from ToDo -> InProgress when they log time.  Is there a way to force a status change based on when time is logged?

Hi @Scott Hassell ,

You can achieve this using Automation. 

There is an Issue trigger called , work logged.  When this is triggered, you can select the new action as component and select transition issue.

This may help you.
