Story point count to epic

Lotte Pijnenburg

Hi,

I got some issues when setting up the automation for counting story points estimated in stories and tasks and viewing them in epics. 

The custom field I use is 'Story point estimate' or customfield_10016 .
This is the code I wrote in the 'edit issue field' advances section: 

{
   "fields": {
      "timetracking": {
         "customfield_10016" : "{{lookupIssues.customfield_10016.sum.divide(60)}}"
      }
   }
}

I already tried replacing the "customfield_10016" with "Story point estimate" but that gives errors too. (error: Unrecognized field "customfield_10016")

 

Anyone any ideas? Thanks! 

 

Gr,
Lotte

Hello @Lotte Pijnenburg 

Welcome to the Atlassian community!

Are you working with a Team Managed project or a Company Managed project? That information will be shown at the bottom of the navigation pane on the left.

The built in custom field "Story points estimate" is used specifically for Team Managed projects. If you are working with a Company Managed project you should not be using that field.

I also see that you are trying to set the field as a child of the "timetracking" field. Story points are not part of the "timetracking" field, so that is another problem with your automation.

I also see that you are trying to sum up the field and then divide it by 60. Why?

This error message usually indicates that the specified field is not part of the issue you are trying to update. The method for correcting that depends on whether you are working with a Team Managed or Company Managed project.

Please show us the entire automation rule as sometimes such error are related to the context of the issue being referenced, which is a factor of how the rule is constructed.

 

Here is a post I answered with details of a rule for summing story points on child issues up to the parent Epic in a Company Managed project. You would need to update the Condition after the Trigger if you have multiple types of issues that can be children of Epics.
