Jira Automation

Simon Philips

Hi

I am trying to use Jira Automation to sum up the original estimates on the subtasks of a parent user story.

I have tried to follow through the advice on some articles, but I am hitting two issues:

1. I cant get it to automatically trigger because the Original Estimate field doesnt appear in the list when choosing the initial trigger.   Currently I am happy to work around this and manually trigger the rule.
2. Even when I do run the rule in the user story it fails.

Here are the 2 previous articles I looked into:

• https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Automation-questions/Original-Estimate-doesn-t-appear-to-roll-up-from-subtasks/qaq-p/1851873
• https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Automation-articles/How-to-sum-up-logged-hours-using-automation-in-Jira-Cloud/ba-p/1409115

Here is my current automation flow:

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Simon - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

What do you mean by it is failing? Is there an error? Does it run and nothing happens? 

Can you share the audit log for the rule when you run it?
