Currently in JIRA, it is not possible to edit JIRA work log entries after they have been made. Until this oversight is fixed see JRA-2411, you can use the following workaround.

JIRA 3.3.1 and above

JIRA 3.3 and earlier:

  • Download and save the editworklog.jsp for your version:
  • If you are using JIRA Standalone:
    • Copy editworklog.jsp to atlassian-jira/secure/admin/, and then restart JIRA (run bin/shutdown.bat / shutdown.sh, and then bin/startup.bat / startup.sh).
  • If you are using JIRA built as a webapp deployed in your own app server:
    • Locate the directory where JIRA was unpacked and built. In the edit-webapp directory, create the subtree secure/admin/, and copy editworklog.jsp there (yielding edit-webapp/secure/admin/editworklog.jsp).
    • Rebuild the JIRA webapp by running build.bat / build.sh in the root
    • Deploy the rebuilt webapp in your app server.
  • In the restarted JIRA instance, log in as an adminstrator, and access http://localhost:8080/secure/admin/editworklog.jsp

    This is great if your are an admin but what about a regular user that makes a mistake while entering in their time?  How can they fix it?

      They can't. If you trust users you can move the editworklog.jsp file out of /secure/admin to /secure, where anyone will be able to run it. You could also wrap the contents in a <webwork:if> tag, to limit it to a certain group (eg. a worklog-editors group).
