Quick Add buttons in Calendar View help you log recurring activities such as lunch breaks, daily scrums and planning sessions. Configure the reusable options in Settings.
Access to Settings is controlled by the Worklog Reports ā View and Manage Settings app permission. If you cannot open Settings, ask your Jira administrator to review the app permissions assigned to your groups.
