How to update sum of Estimate on Parent when sub-task MOVED into (parent change) ?

Question

Hello,

So I have already rules setup in place for when an sub-task issue is created/edited/deleted, and these work perfectly. Here's one example below:

However the only thing left is to get a rule working for when a sub-task is MOVED / changed to a different Parent issue, and to continue with updating Parent total Estimate based on Estimates from sub-tasks.

I've attempted using Parent Link from the Issue Updated trigger but unfortunately this does nothing.

So looking for an answer to help with this please : )

Hi Mariana,

Certainly, and apologies for the delay in this response - my email notifications were all off!

So the Rule does the following:

* Trigger on Issue deleted
* Check if Issue is a 'sub-task' type (using JQL query)
* If so, then for Parent issue...* First refresh or re-fetch the issue data
* Then update the Original Estimate field, using the following calculation:

{{#=}}{{issue.subtasks.original estimate.sum}} / 3600{{/}}

Hope that is clear and helps!

Hi Dan! Great job you did! :)  Would you mind sharing your rule for deletion of a subtask?

Thanks for investigating Sherry!

I hope you also don't mind me linking to another likely bug issue. You'll want to look at the last 2 comments on this post, which specifically talks about a bug issue found using the If/Else block condition (so ignore the original question posted);

I just wasn't sure how to report and log a bug issue for this myself, so appreciate if you can also look into this one too.

Thank you kindly!
