Updated at February 19, 2024

Use this request to edit a record of the time spent on an issue.

Note

In Yandex Tracker, time spent is measured in business weeks (5 days) and business days (8 hours).

For example, if you transmit a time interval of 5 days (P5D), the request will return the value 1 week (P1W), which you will see when viewing the issue.

Request format

To edit records of time spent on issues, use an HTTP PATCH request: Request parameters are provided in the request body in JSON format:

PATCH /v2/issues/<issue_ID_or_key>/worklog/<worklog_ID>

{
