changing original estimate of issue automatically with another custom field

Umar Maroof

Hi 

Actually I am try to change the original estimate of issue depend upon the value enter in another custom field number from 1 to 100.

so for example let suppose we have original estimate 10h when we enter 60 in another custom field I will change 10H to 60 percentage like 6H ,I am using Jira automation here is the following step I did

• Trigger issue updated
• advance compare condition {{issue.fields.customfield_<custom_field_10185>}} equal to empty
• Action edit field original estimate ({{issue.fields.customfield_10185}} / 100) * {{issue.originalEstimate}}

But it gives error

(Specify a valid value for Original estimate (timetracking_originalestimate), Specify a valid value for Original estimate (timetracking))

kindly help me with this.

Hi @Umar Maroof 

The correct smart value would be:

{{issue.fields.timetracking.originalEstimateSeconds.multiply(issue.fields.customfield_10185).divide(100)}}

But to be fairly honest, I'm quite puzzled of how and IF your rule is going to work properly.

• You have an original estimate of e.g. 1h and your number field is empty.
• You place a value on that number field equal to 50
• Then your Original Estimate will go to 30m
• If you try to increase the Number value back to 100, then it will not go back to 1h

Just making sure that you have thought of every aspect of your rule.
