How to automatacilly roll-up a delete of worklog to epic

Question

Hi,

My goal is to create an automation that updates an epic automatically once "Logwork" of a subtask is deleted.

I have successfully created an automation that updates the epic's "Time Spent" field each time "Logwork" is created or updated in a subtask of the epic. BUT, when it comes to logwork deletion, the automation adds time to the "Time Spent" field of the epic instead of reducing it.

Any ideas?

Thank you very much!

Hi @Roi Angress

Disclaimer that I have not tried this, and...

Have you tried using the Work Logged (deleted) trigger, and then using changelog to access the previous value?  Please look here for information about changelog use:
