Log work from the issue navigator

Jira's issue navigator now has a Log work option in each issue's actions menu, so people can record time without opening the issue. It has been rolling out to Atlassian Cloud sites since 10 Nov 2026.

What it is

Improvement

The More actions (•••) menu on an issue row in the issue navigator now includes Log work. It opens a modal where you enter time, adjust the remaining estimate and edit the description. The description editor supports user mentions and Atlassian Intelligence.

Users

Users can log work from the list view by selecting More actions on an issue row, then Log work, without opening the issue.
