Story Point Capture original Story Point value in Custom field

Question

I am looking for a way to capture the first time a value is placed in the Story Point field and capture that into a custom field names Original Story Point

The issues are created without a story point value and the value is set during project grooming sessions.

I know I can use a scripted field but trying to find example code that may be able to help capture this data.

In that case, you have to implement a so-called listener (that intercepts field value changes) with ScriptRunner.

The pseudo code would something like this:

if(field.name == "Story Points") {
  if((oldValue == null) && (newValue != null)) {
    field["Original Story Points"] = newValue
  }
}

This is obviously not a valid Groovy script, I just use this to illustrate the logic.

I'm quite sure you can turn this to Groovy after looking at the ScriptRunner user manual.

Aron - Thanks for the feedback - we do not have this add-on and looking to use Scriptrunner and possible a scripted field to capture the data

Basically what you need is an automation rule that copies the "Story Point" field's value to "Original Story Point" when it is first set.

I think you can do that without any programming using the Automation for Jira app.
