The input fields can be seen at the bottom of the page. These fields are used when adding or editing worklogs.

Issue
The issue(s) to which the worklog will belong. You can add multiple issues and log the same worklog to them. 
This field is mandatory.
Search and display settings
The setting menu is located to the right of the input field. The field will search Issues primarily and displays Issues on the top section based on the chosen setting. If there is no match, it looks for all (user-accessible) Issues according to the keywords.
You can choose here from the following:
- All Issues: Default Issue search
- Recent Issues: The Issues that the current user recently viewed.
- Recently Worked On: The Issues for which the user has recently logged work.
- Assigned: The Issues for which the user is assigned.
- Watched: The Issues that the user is watching.
Select Issue
The field can be filled in three ways:
- Typing the issue code(s) or summary in the field. The autocomplete function will display the issues matching the typed text.
- By clicking on the arrow, the users can select one of the issues from the list. The list will show recent Issues according to the picker settings.
Issues can be removed from the input field by clicking on the X next to them.
Time and Duration fields
By default, you can use the Duration field to log work. If only the Duration field is displayed, the worklog start time will be the configured Daily Start Time (User settings). Format: HH:MM or Xw Xd Xh Xm.
You can set the Start and End time for worklogs as well if you prefer more precise time tracking. Click on the "Set start and edn time" button to display the two fields. To hide these fields, simply click on the X button.
In case of Start and End time, you can use the "Now" button to:
- Pressing the Now button (clock icon) once will set the current time as a value.
- Pressing the Now button again will round the time first up then down with 5 minutes.
Description
The worklog description can be given in the note field. The note input field handles the text formatting annotations. The available toolbar appears on JIRA 6.4.x or later.
Additional input fields
You can quickly turn the additional input fields on and off with the help of a button in the upper right corner of the input fields. You can also manage these options in the User Settings.
Remaining Estimate
The Timetracker Adjust automatically the Remaining Estimate by default (the estimate will be reduced by the amount of work done). You can choose in Timetracker settings whether you want to display additional Remaining Estimate adjusting options.
Timetracker require dot (.) as a decimal separator in case of decimal numbers.
Period
With the period worklog option, you can administer regular tasks. Worklogs will be added for the working days between the selected date for the worklog and the selected period end date, except for weekends and excluded dates.
- Enter the data about the regular worklog.
- Check the period checkbox.
- Enter the step you want to save the worklog within the period. One step means one day!
- Enter the desired End Date to log work for each step in the interval (from the actual date until the End Date).
Update fields from the worklog table
- The Issue field can be copied from the Worklog table by clicking on the cell.
- The Issue Description field can be copied from the Worklog table by clicking on it.
- You can also copy the Start and End time field but in that case, the values will be switched. This can be useful when you want to fill a hole between two worklogs.
