Malavika L P May 3, 2022

I wanted to set an automation rule where the original estimate field gets automatically updated if I enter a value to the story point field

 

For example: Story Point = 1 my Original estimate field has to be updated as 8h

Please replace the '480' with the value in minutes that you need for each Story Point. 

{{#=}}{{issue.Story Points}} * 480{{/}}

Extremely basic automation to get you going (based on the requirement). 

You may need to add in additional logic to handle different Story Point conditions.

OK but how about monitoring the 'Original Estimate' field. It does not seem to be available in the list of fields.

Hi @Mich , I've managed to find the link which can calculate the sum of original estimates of all issue types to an Epic using the Jira Native Automation capability
