Automation - Log work on parent from trigger issue

Question

Hi,

I'd like to set a rule that the log work from a sub task triggers a log work on the parent story.

How do I use the time spend value from the trigger issue to the parent issue?

This works really well when you have a structure Epic -> Sub-Task. 
Do you know how to adjust it when you have a structure Epic -> Story -> Sub-task?

So that when you do a modifiation on logWork at the level of sub-task the value on Epic will be also updated?

Thank you for your support!

You can create an automation rule :

1) When a field value changed component (use the "Time Tracking (Field")

2) Add a Component of type : New Condition 
select "Issue Fields Conditions"
is one of
Sub-task

3)  Add a Component of type : Branch rule / related issues
Set Parent in "Type of related Issues"

4) In the Branch add a new component : Edit Issue
Set the "Remaining Estimate  (System)" as field
Enter the following formula : {{#=}}{{issue.subtasks.remaining estimate.sum}} / 60{{/}}

Activate then this rule and when you update the time tracking of a subtask it will automatically recalculate the parent Remaining estimate with the sum of all subtask Remaining Estimate

Hi @[deleted]

Please look at this example in the template library for how to sum up the sub-task original estimates.

You may then change the trigger to work logged and modify the edit to meet your needs.

Best regards,
