add worklog to JIRA (with user and activity metadata) using the API

I am using jira-python and request API to log work to JIRA tickets with the user and activity info but can't figure out a way to do it . I have the following code : 

jira.add_worklog("issue number", timeSpent="2h", user="username")

but it seems to ignore the user keyword. I am also looking up JIRA API with request library but can't seem to find an API to log work with activity and user info.

It is not needed to add inside the arguments the user. you can use the following code:

jira.add_worklog("issue number", timeSpent="2h")

Yo can add other arguments like:

  • adjustEstimate – (optional) allows the user to provide specific instructions to update the remaining time estimate of the issue. The value can either be new, leave, manual or auto (default).
  • newEstimate – the new value for the remaining estimate field. e.g. “2d”
  • reduceBy – the amount to reduce the remaining estimate by e.g. “2d”
  • started – Moment when the work is logged, if not specified will default to now
  • comment – optional worklog comment

You can find more info about it in jira python api

There's no direct support for this action, see this discussed in

https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/29951977

and

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-30197

It's possible to impersonate another user, either by writing an add-on with the ACT_AS_USER scope or by registering your application with Oauth2 authentication in your Jira configuration, for example as discussed here:

https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/247528/how-do-you-impersonate-a-user-with-jira-oauth

You'd probably be better off discussing implantation suggestions on answers.atlassian.com.
