How to sum up Original Estimates from sub-tasks to Parent

Sharon Youmans

Hello,

I need automation to sum up the original estimates from the subtasks to the parent (story or bug) original estimate field on the parent.

This is what i have in the automation so far but the last condition is failing:

When: Value changes for
Time Tracking

Issue Type equals:
sub-task

For Parent

Then: Edit Issue Fields
Original Estimate

Please show the message available in the Audit Log for the rule execution when it failed.

Hi Trudy,

Thanks for getting back to me. I did copy and paste it correctly. I attached a copy of the rule, user story and tasks to view the total on the original estimates. we track by hours.

I indicated it's h for hours on each issue. What's missing? the total on the user story is showing the minutes it seems.

{{#=}}{{issue.subtasks.original estimate.sum}} / 60{{/}}

I've seen a few other posts that indicate users are successfully summing up subtask original estimates with that, and I tested it and confirmed it worked for me, for issues in a Company Managed project.

If the value isn't divided by 60 then the value in the parent issue is not correct.

Thank you. i'll try this and let you know.
