Set and calculate estimates automatically based on status

Question

Hello, in jira software, I would like to set estimate for each status and calculate the remaining estimate automatically when a ticket is moved between statuses.

For example: Time estimates to pre-configured for each status, say for open - 2 w, in-progress - 3 w, etc.

When an issue is moved from open to in-progress after 1 w, then remaining estimate for status open is 1 w and if status is changed from in-progress to open after 1w, then remaining estimate for status in-progress is to be 2 w.

Is it possible with add-ons script runner or JWME (jira misc. workflow extension) ? Thank you.

I tried post function method to change the estimates, but I'm looking a way to update time spent field automatically, based on the ticket that is in that particular status.

Thank you. Currently, we might not look at buying an add-on, so exploring workarounds.
