Story point estimate Automation

[Gregory Tampagaris]

Hi Everyone

The automation is supposed to aggregate all 'Story point estimate' values from tasks associated with an epic and then update the corresponding field on the parent epic with this calculated value.

Running the following automation however, always updates the 'Story point estimate' on the Epic as 0

I've also tried the following but it gives me an error: 

Error editing issues

WP-79 (Specify a number for the custom field (below 100,000,000,000,000) (customfield_10016))

Hi @Gregory Tampagaris 

welcome to the community and thank you for your question. I think you got it a little mixed up in your Automation. The reason why it is always 0 is that you sum up the Story Points from subtasks (in the last step). I guess there are no subtasks or they don't have values, so this will always be 0.

I would recommend checking this thread about summing up Story Points to epic, as this has a detailed description. 

Hope this helps

Hi @Kai Becker 

Thank you for your answer. I've tried the set up described in your link

But now im getting the following error:

Assuming customfield_10016 is the 'Story point estimate' on Epic level

Hi @Gregory Tampagaris 

could you please add a log action and put the smart value for the Story point estimate sum up in there, to see what the rule is trying to write to the field?

Hi @Kai Becker I hope this helps

Hi @Gregory Tampagaris 

I believe the Story point estimate field is a number field, as the error message indicates.

Please remove the quotation marks from the number value in your JSON for the advanced edit.

{
  "fields": {
    "Story point estimate": {{lookupIssues.Story point estimate.sum|0}}
  }
}

Kind regards,
Bill
