My automation rule for sum the estimations of subtasks is not working

Criselda Mora

I need some support since I configured an automation rule for doing an autosum of the estimations of the subtasks in the parent task.

The event is triggered on the creation or edit of subtasks tickets, and it is supposed to be running correctly with status sucess for every edit but the sum is not executed neither reflected on the parent task>

Sucessful status with no updates on my ticket

The parent task that is supposed to be updated with the sum of the subtasks estimations:

Please let me know what am I missing.

Hello @Criselda Mora

I believe your problem is in the code that you have used:

"Story point estimate": {{issue.subtasks.Story Points.sum}}

It needs to be:

"Story point estimate": {{issue.subtasks.Story point estimate.sum}}

Hi @Criselda Mora

Try following the example in this related post. You would need to replace any reference to 'Annual Voice Reduction' to Story Points Estimate, including where the custom field ID is referenced. You would not need to use the Advanced Field editor to achieve this.

You would then also need to clone the rule and change the trigger, as you cannot have two separate triggers within the same automation rule.

Hope this helps!

Hi Callum, I'm cleaning my other rules to check no other automation is interfering, but for the par of the advanced field I think I need it because the field is not appearing in this search even when it exists

Is the Story Points Estimate field an editable field on the parent task?

Criselda Mora

I think so, this is what I see
