Structure in Jira: effectors problem

Jurica Petricevic

Hi Community,

i am trying to make one business scenario in Structure and for that I use effectors in Structure but there is a problem.

The project ticket should be the sum of all work package

Σ Original Estimate

Project-1 6w
Workpackage-1 1w
Workpackage-2 2w
Workpackage-3 3w

In any case, the effector sets the values, but it is wrong.

For 6w as in the example above effector is getting 1w 4d somehow.

Do anyone know why and how to correct this?

The formula i use:

SUM#children { IF(IssueType = "Work Package"; OriginalEstimate) }

and this one doesnt work to:

WITH ProjectEstimate = SUM#children { IF(IssueType = "Work Package"; OriginalEstimate) } :
JIRA_DURATION(CONCAT(ProjectEstimate / 3600 / 1000; "h"))

and assignment is made via the effector to the jira field OriginalEstimate.

Best regards

Jurica

@Jurica Petricevic , how is the hierarchy of your structure designed? Can you share a screenshot?

Is your Project-1 the project itself or a project issue type?

Jurica Petricevic

Hi @Dave Mathijs

yes, Project-1 is project issue type.

Dave Mathijs

Does the built-in ∑ Original Estimate formula not work correctly then?

Jurica Petricevic

@Dave Mathijs

As you can see in the picture, it doesn't work. 6w should be 6w but he is simply miscalculating the time for some reason.

Hello @Jurica Petricevic ,

David from ALM Works here. To @Dave Mathijs 's point, the screenshot you shared shows an Original Estimate (field value) column, which is not the same as ∑Original Estimate (field value & aggregation).

This would indicate 1w 4d is the value set for the Original Estimate field on your Project issue, not an aggregation of the issues below it.

If I understand correctly, you are saying that this 1w 4d was set via your "bottom-up project estimate" effector. Is this correct? If so, could you please share a screenshot of the Effector configuration?
