Prerequisites

For all of the following procedures you must be logged in as a user with the JIRA Administrators global permission.

Users who are using the functionality and validation of Timetracker sometimes want to disable the log work module in JIRA.

Steps

To disable default Log Work components, take the following steps:

Log in as a user with the JIRA Administrators global permission
Select Administration —> Add-ons —> Manage Add-ons
Select System filter in the drop down
Select System in the drop down

Remove Log Work button on your Issue screen

Search for Issue Operations Plugin
Disable the View Issue Ops Bar Work Link (log-work) module

Remove Log Work tab on your Issue screen

Search for Issue Tab Panels Plugin
Disable the Work Log Tab Panel (worklog-tab panel) module

Remove Log Work '+' button on Time Tracking section

Search for Atlassian JIRA - Plugins - View Issue Panels
Disable the webfragments.view.issue.timetracking.create.worklog (create-worklog) module

Remove Time Tracking section entirely

Search for Atlassian JIRA - Plugins - View Issue Panels
Disable the "timetrackingmodule" module

If all went well, with these modules disabled, there are no visible buttons or links for work logging.

Hiding these components are just front-end modifications, so any third party add-on can log work bypassing our validation.

Make sure that the Log Work and Time Tracking fields were not added to any customized screen. If this is not done, user can log work and specify time estimates on the default JIRA Log Work screen when performing JIRA operation, such as editing, creating an issue, or transitioning an issue to another status bypassing our validation.
