[JIRA Automation] copy number in string field to a number field

Question

Hi-

I'd like to copy the numerical value selected in [Story points - Select List (single choice)] to Story points field.

How can I do that via Automation for JIRA?

Ex.

Possible values of [Story points - Select List (single choice)] = 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13 etc, (fibonacci series).

Based on what the user selects in this dropdown, would like that value be set in Story Points field (for Velocity chart, Burndowns etc.).

Thank you.

Hi @Anuj B

If that field is not required, and it can be cleared, you may want to add a default value handler so the story points are cleared when the drop-down is empty.

Best regards,

Bill

You can use a smart value to get the value from your single choice field to update your Story Points.

Just notice that Story Point will need to be part of the edit screen to the automation work on Cloud
