Tempo - Log Work Update Status

[Jamie McCoy]

Hi, 

We've been using Jira for tracking our Digital team and the client and in house work being planned. Which it's good for so far. But there's a few things I can't get my head around why they're missing hopefully someone can show me how to activate them. 

1 - when working from the "my work" section in Jira, where all the planned tasks are, when you select the task to log work on it, you can't actually update the status of it. You need to then click through onto the issue record and update it there. Why? That feels mental instead of having the status drop down on the Log Work pop up in My Work? How do I get that on there. 

2 - When planning work under a project from the My Work screen, it creates the plan fine but doesn't create an issue so the codes don't fully form. you get the prefix but no suffix. Can't we create and issue and plan it in tempo? Again feels really illogical not to just do that? 

3 - when using the left hand + symbol to create an issue quickly to then plan work with, you can't actually plan the work in for it there. You need to create the issue, save it, then go and plan it in seperately, why can't I just create an issue and plan when I'm going to do it on one screen, is it just me that thinks that's a pretty reasonable assumption it would do? 

MAybe the tools not fit for the purpose I need but it's very very almost perfect just these few totally crazy situations that I can't get my head around so any answers are most welcome
