Hi everyone! 

 

I'm trying to set up a rule that:

- When an issue is transitioned to the In Progress status, 

- Updates the Due Date field considering the Original Estimate time

 

I've used this: '{{now.plusOriginalEstimate}}', but it didn't work when validating the rule. 

 

Thank you!

Hello @Pilar Minue 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

From where did you get the idea that "plusOriginaEstimate" is a valid function? Unfortunately it is not.

Here is a KB article from Atlassian on how to accomplish your requirement.

Thank you! I've just set the rule and it's working fine
