My idea is to develop an extension to automate the loading of tracked times to jira cloud. I have many experience with development and Jira Cloud APIs, so I can help with the coding, but I have not found documentation on how to start developing it. ---

Welcome to the forum, @mar18ne! We do not have a thorough reference available for extension development. However, we do have several examples available for you to look at [here](https://github.com/Epiforge/Grindstone-4-Extensions/tree/master/Extensions). We will also answer any questions you might have while you’re developing your extension in [a category on this forum specifically for that](https://discuss.epiforge.com/c/grindstone-4/extension-development/10). ---
