Log Time on epic based on total spend from trigger issue

Florian Warncke

Is it possible with Jira Automation (Cloud) to log time on Epic based on total spend time in Trigger issue.

Hi @Florian Warncke  -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Yes, you should be able to do that.  The technique I found was to sum up the trigger issue's time spent as seconds, and then convert it to minutes.  For example:

• Trigger: manual (I used this for the example)
• Branch: for epic (parent)
  • Action: edit issue fields, using JSON

{
    "update": {
        "worklog" : [
            { "add": {
"timeSpent" : "{{#=}}{{triggerIssue.worklog.timeSpentSeconds.sum}} / 60 {{/}}m"
                }
            }
        ]
    }
}

 

Best regards,
