That's completely missing the point of what story points are for.

If you really have been using story points as a time estimate, then the best thing to do is:

1) Decide if you could run your processes from the original estimate, or if a simple "number of hours" is right for you

2) if it's the estimates, you'll need to script something that can scan through your issues with story points and add the hours to the estimate

3) if it's a simple number, then create a new field for it, and write a similar script to move it all over

Then tell your system to use whichever you chose as the estimate statistic instead of Story points.
