scriptrunner > create a subtask > time tracking

Michael Furtmeier

Hello together,

I use Scriptrunner to automatically create a subtask when creating a task.

For the subtask, a predefined time estimate should now be stored ("Original Estimate").

Is it possible to set a fixed number of hours for all subtasks created under the task?

I have already found the option to predefine a custom field

def cf = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjects(issue).find {it.name == 'MyCustomFieldType'}
issue.setCustomFieldValue(cf, 'my value')

However, the time tracking is not a custom field and probably does not work because of this.

Can someone please help me?
Greetings Michael

Your guess is exactly right - time tracking is not a custom field and you get to system fields differently.  From memory, try issue.setOriginalEstimate() - bear in mind this thinks in seconds, not hours or minutes.
