Hi!

I have problem to automate on the "Story point estimate" field. The field is available as a default field in Jira Cloud for a Team-managed Software space, space estimation feature is activated and Scrum template is used.

The "Story point estimate" field is not found in the rule builder pick list, similar to already reported issues. I used the rule template "When the story point estimate for a work item is changed → sum up story point estimates in Parent".

There are a number of solutions found but I could not get them to work for me.
E.g. Solved: Automation on Story Point Estimate, Solved: Jira Cloud Automation: Unable to set “Story point ...

The rule validation do not pass, see image below.

What really is the problem and the solution?

Hi @Karl-Erik Hirviniemi

{
"fields": {
"customfield_10016": 0.5
}
}

Thanks!

How would that rule sum up the child story point estimates to the parent story point estimate?

I tried this, does not work:

{
               "fields": {
                      "Story point estimate":
{{lookupIssues."customfiled_10016".sum|0}}
        }
}
