That may work sometimes, but most of the time you're going to run into one of two problems, and possibly both at the same time:

1) Micromanaging is often co-morbid with other bad-boss habits. These may make attempts at "managing" your boss toward improvement unrealistic and even highly ill-advised.

2) If your boss is micromanaging you, this is a strong signal that their opinion of you is already somewhere around the Earth's core (unless they just do it to everyone, but then, see #1). Your best bet is trying to honestly evaluate why there was a mis-match so it doesn't happen again (even if the problem truly is them, not you, it's worth reflecting on what exactly about them is the problem and how to spot it early next time) and look for another opportunity. That'll be much faster & more pleasant than trying to dig out of that hole.

This is all assuming all kinds of things that may or may not be true. Until you can read people's minds, validate your assumptions by communicating with people. The same argument you made can be made the other way. Maybe it's just a matter of reporting what you did, updating tickets. Maybe your manager thinks you like the attention. Maybe maybe maybe. Just talk to each other!

Managers who listen and react to what they hear don't become micromanagers. If the issue is just a matter of you not updating jira, then the chance it will come across as micromanagement is quite small.
