[TIME-301] Ability to aggregate time associated with "is composed of" linked issues in addition to sub-tasks
Current timesheet plugin reports aggregate time associated with all issue sub-tasks, but it would be extremely useful if we could also include time associated with all "is composed of" linked issues as well - please see discussion in Atlassian Answers: https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/106271/is-there-an-option-to-track-time-across-linked-issues

reporter Thanks for the really fast turn-around - we have installed the new version 2.3.8 and are testing now - will report back once our testing has been completed

reporter Andrew - after doing some testing - we encountered two unexpected results and just need to be sure we understand our environment. After updating the plugin to v2.3.8, editing jira-config.properties, and restarting JIRA – we ran a test time-sheet report grouped by linked-issues. The total time now seems to include both sub-tasks and linked-issues as we expected, but did not seem to total in the "RoadMap Item" as we expected. I will attach a couple of screenshots showing our "linked-issues" configuration page we used as a reference for editing the jira-config.properties, and the resulting report.
The second unexpected result was the "field not set" entry under the "linked-issues" column - we didn't know if that was by design, or if it indicated another problem.Can you take a quick look and let us know if we missed something? Thanks!

reporter These show our "linked-issues" config screens - we edited our jira-config.properties using these lines:
jira.timesheet.plugin.composeIssueLink = Aggregate
jira.timesheet.plugin.isComposeIssueLinkTransitive = trueBy rick.waring on Tue, 20 Nov 2012 01:20:30 -0800

reporter And this is the time-sheet report we generated – the times reported are correct, and the total for the report seems correct, except we expected them to be rolled-up into the roadmap item - did we miss something? Thanks!

reporter Hi Rick,
Looks like I confused you with previous screen shot using 'Group By' option. Please set 'Sum SubTasks' report configuration option instead.
Thanks.

reporter I thought that we did select the "sum sub-task option - here is the report config we used, and the results.. maybe we did miss something else.. thanks

reporter Just a thought - it may be that we are just looking in the wrong place for our totals – the "total" shown at the bottom of that group did seem to have the right number, my user was just expecting it to be aggregated in the "roadmap item 1" line – should we just look for the "linked-by issues" group total to be at the bottom of each group? We may just need to learn how to read the report -

reporter After further review and testing - it seems that we now understand the report better, and all our issues are now resolved (we had selected the "show details" option and it generated more details than we expected - without that option selected, the reports now seem to be what we need) - thank you! sorry for the confusion on our part -

reporter Hi Rick,
Great, and thank you for your efforts on making sense of the report! Note, 'Group by field' is useless for Issue Links. And yes, details report may be confusing, it shows all worklog entries.

reporter Just one last question – more of a cosmetic request than anything – but we need to report over a 3-month period instead of the new default 2-month maximum - I found your notes on editing the maxDays property - and that works very well, thank you - but often my users manage to enter a time-frame more than 90 days, generating an alert "The "End Date" must not be later than 2 months." – Is there any way to change the text on the alert to either reflect the current maxDays setting, or even just a way for me to manually edit the text? Not critical or anything, with the right time-frame - the new patch works very well - just would help reduce user-confusion.. thanks!

reporter Issue
#342was marked as a duplicate of this issue. - Log in to comment
Added to 2.3.8 for all plugin assets, however it is disabled by default and need to be activated with application properties in home/jira-config.properties, then JIRA must be restarted.
E.g.:
jira.timesheet.plugin.composeIssueLink = Compose
jira.timesheet.plugin.isComposeIssueLinkTransitive = true
Where composeIssueLink is link name, see screen shot for example. Outward link is used then.
And isComposeIssueLinkTransitive is false by default, and may be used when e.g. ISSUE-1 'is composed of' ISSUE-2 and ISSUE-2 'is composed of' ISSUE-3, and it is desired that worked time is summed up to ISSUE-1 finally.
Please let me know how it works.
Thank you.
