Allow relative dates on timedate fields

[beatbrot]

I want to be able to specify datetimes via relative strings (like "-1d", "-1h", etc...)

So for example, if I want to add a worklog to an issue with a worklog starte datetime, I want to be able to run:

jira issue worklog add ABC-123 --started -1d

Hi @beatbrot, the Jira API expects date time for that field unlike some other fields where a relative time would work. I am not inclined towards adding this transformation logic to the tool unless absolutely necessary. Perhaps we can manage with the standard date-time format for this?

Yeah, I understand that that's not what the JIRA API expects. My intention would be exactly that - add the transformation logic to the tool.

But I understand your concern, and I am not sure whether I would add this feature as a developer. But as a user, I'd love to have it 😉. But in the end, it's your decision 😄
