How to create an automation to hold issue when blocked?

Guido Ansede

Hi everyone!

 

In my team we want to create an automation rule which stops the counter on the field "Original estimate" whenever the issue is tagged with, for example, a tag of "Blocked". 

When the issue is no longer with the "Blocked" tag, the counter of the field "Original estimate" goes back on counting the time.

 

Thanks in advance!

Hi @Guido Ansede,

You cannot stop the Original Estimate from not being updated via automation. The countdown is based on logged work, and is controlled via the permission scheme who can log work. Automation cannot update the permission scheme based on the workflow.
