Tempo Ideas

Tempo reuses the standard Jira field timeSpent for Registered Time (R), while Billable Time (B) and Planned Time (P) are kept in internal fields. Tempo also reports the originalEstimate in some places, maybe also remainingEstimate.

Atlassian does not offer field-specific access permissions in Jira issues. That means if a customer has access to your Jira project, they can see worklogs, even if administrators hide them from issue screens. This causes confusion – to put it mildly – if the Tempo Billable Time used for invoices differs from the Registered Time exposed as time spent on the Jira issue.

Therefore I wish Tempo Timesheets would record the Registered Time in an internal field as well, so that us Tempo Admin users could choose which Tempo times to show for the Jira worklog, ideally per project.

I’m not convinced it has the same strong use case, but perhaps Tempo’s Planned Time and one of Jira‘s estimate fields could also be synchronized.
