Is there a way to export all work logs from JIRA?

Francesco Bria March 26, 2020

Hello there!

I would like to export all my work logs from JIRA. Ideally I would like to export the following:

  • Work Log ID
  • Time Spent
  • Date & Time Started
  • Work Description
  • Related Story
  • Related Epic

Can someone help me figure this out. The reason why I want to export all the time logs is that I would like to create a report on the time I spend on different stories/epics.

Thanks to whoever picks this up. F.

PS: I would prefer not to use any add ins.

@Francesco Bria - are you using Jira Cloud or Jira Server/Data Center?

Either way the short answer is - you can only do this with the help of a Marketplace App. Check out the time tracking apps here and use the filters on the left-hand-side to limit by the relevant hosting option.

Here is the link to the free time tracking apps - though you will have to check which ones offer exporting.

@Francesco Bria hate to bother you more than a year later, but I was wondering if you found a suitable app?  I am trying to export these as well and while I have nothing against apps, I'm usually more inclined to just get the data and make my own report.

@Shawn Keene no I did not. But I did not continue looking to be honest. As soon as I realised I needed an app I stopped searching. I found another solution. I ended up using google spreadsheet. Sorry I cannot help :). All the best Shawn!

UPDATE:

Better Excel Exporter for Jira Cloud comes with built-in reporting templates for worklog in Jira Cloud. Read more on how to export Jira Cloud worklogs to Excel here >>

@Shawn Keene , you haven't mentioned what target format you have in mind. Do you want your data in Excel and make your own report there? Google Spreadsheet, as @Francesco Bria mentioned doesn't work for you?

I'm also asking because I'm organizing the early access program of a new exporter app that's coming out soon for Jira Cloud and would love to include you (or anyone else interested!) and get your feedback. Please drop me a line at levente.szabo@midori-global.com if you would be up for trying this new Jira Cloud app.

Any solutions from Atlassian? This is quite "wonderful" that such basic feature of exporting all users logs is hidden from a default user...

I'm not able to add any plugins for a corporate Jira. But still, this is amazing why there is no default solution for that.
