Count total estimated and remaining time

Question

Hi,

I had an automation rule in place that counted up the total time logged in original estimate and remaining estimate.

I edited to the rule from single project to multi project however advised the JQL was incorrect. This is due to a recent change from Jira - https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/upcoming-changes-epic-link-replaced-with-parent/

So I updated Epic Link to Parent however it states the automation is successful however not updating the fields on the Epic.

Can anyone help me?

Hi @Louise Woods

Adding to Trudy's ideas...

Are you using a Company-managed (CMP) or a Team-managed project (TMP)?  You may find this information at the bottom-left side of the expand area on the browser page.

I ask because TMP have always used "parent" for epic linking, and CMP are in transition from "epic link" to "parent", as you noted from that article.  However, I continue to observe inconsistency for CMP around the epic changes, so perhaps change your lookup issues JQL to use Epic Link to see what happens:

"Epic Link" = {{issue.key}}

Kind regards,
Bill

It states it is successful however the Epic is not updating.

It looks like there is an issue with the lookup since the change - as there is about 5 issues on that Epic.
