Automation: copy custom value to "originalestimate"

[DG]

Hello folks,

I want to copy a numeric customfield "customfield_11900" to the system field "timeoriginalestimate.

I was trying different ways an one for e.g.

 

but this rule doesn't work

 

I create the rule with smart values.

Hi @DG 

You shouldn't need the Advanced section - this should work:

• Trigger: ...
• Action: Edit Issue
  • Field = Original Estimate (System)
    • Value = {{issue.customfield_11900}}

I'd also check that the user who is actioning the rule has the appropriate time tracking permissions.

Also, the estimate field will use whatever the default time tracking value is - eg. minutes. You could use smart values (maths expressions) though to get round this. For example, the default is hours but the numeric field is in minutes - so the smart value would be {{issue.customfield_11900.divide(60)}}
