hi @Rajkumar Dalwai 

can you please share a screenshot of the error you are getting from automation rule log.

The story Point estimate field is showing a locked

so as Bill mentioned earlier, Company-managed projects use the "Story points" field and team-managed use the "Story point estimate" field...is your project that you are trying to implement the automation inside is company or team managed?

can you try to open the screen of any of these tickets you are trying to update and see if Story point estimate is showing....most probably its not and you wont be able to add due to the above reason.

further more, seeing Locked next to the field that only means that its a predefined field by Jira and you can play around with its config, its a field for team managed project and that will be available for all relevant type of projects and you can change its config or details.

I am not able to find ' Story Point estimate ' field here to set the rule

[Antuan Sammak]

@Rajkumar Dalwai  kindly refer to this post https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-Software-questions/Setting-Story-Point-with-JIRA-automation/qaq-p/1927493

for this field you need to use Additional fields box instead of selecting it from dropdown

{

"fields": {

"Story point estimate": 1

}

}

I want my parent story point estimate to have sum of the subtasks it has & not 1

e.g : Subtask -1 - 10
        Subtask -1 - 15

Expected Story point estimate of parent = 25

@Rajkumar Dalwai 

you would need to trigger the sum up in the automation, this post discusses similar topic https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Marketplace-Apps-Integrations/How-can-you-automatically-sum-the-story-points-of-all-subtasks/qaq-p/863364

possible solutions:

{
  "fields": {
    "Story point estimate": {{#=}} {{subtasks.Story point estimate.join(" + ") }} {{/}}
  }
}

or

{
  "fields": {
    "Story point estimate": {{#=}} {{#subtasks}} {{Story point estimate}} + {{/}} 0 {{/}}
  }
}

 or

using this https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/find-the-smart-value-for-a-field/ you can find custom field ID then use the below

{
"fields": {
"customfield_10016": {{#=}}{{subtasks.customfield_10016.join(" + ")}}{{/}}

}
}

Hi @Rajkumar Dalwai 

What type of project are you using: company-managed or team-managed?  You may find that information at the bottom-left side of the page's expanding area.

Company-managed projects use the "Story points" field and team-managed use the "Story point estimate" field.

Kind regards,
Bill
