Jira Automation

[Bill Partridge]

Can i use automation to update the story point value based on the content of a custom field?

ie. T-shirt size = Small    - Story point estimate = 2

T-shirt size = Medium    - Story point estimate = 10 

This is based on individual Jira's 

Thanks Bill

Hi Bill,

Yes, you should be able to do that. You can use a Field Value Changed trigger on the T-shirt size field. Then use a series of IF/ELSE conditions to for the value of the field for each value. Then under each IF/IFELSE add an action for Edit Issue, select the Story point estimate field and then the value for the field.

Hi @Bill Partridge 

Yes, and...to the suggestion from @John Funk -- I recommend using a Lookup Table for this type of value mapping:

This will improve the mapping visibility, maintenance, and possibly the performance of the rule.

Kind regards,
Bill
