Building override parameter

How to override the “from” and “to” field in reporting from using the overrideParam option:

Assumption:

You date format setting is day.month.year (e.g. 01.11.2019 for November, 1st 2019)

You want the period from 05.11.2019 until 10.11.2019.

  • open Chrome / firefox JavaScript console

  • execute the follwoing statement in the console

    • encodeURI(JSON.stringify({'fromPeriod':["05.11.2019"], 'toPeriod' : ["10.11.2019"]}))

  • this returns

    • "%7B%22fromPeriod%22:%5B%2205.11.2019%22%5D,%22toPeriod%22:%5B%2210.11.2019%22%5D%7D"

  • remove double quotes from the result and append the resulting string as additional parameter to the Base default URL of the reporting page:

    • http(s):/YOUR_JIRA_HOST/YOUR_JIRA_PATH/ICTimeCreateReportAction!default.jspa?loadParameterSetId=2&overrideParam=%7B%22fromPeriod%22:%5B%2205.11.2019%22%5D,%22toPeriod%22:%5B%2210.11.2019%22%5D%7D
