Can you clear out Story point estimate field with automation?

Jim_gzlras

All I've been able to do via automation is set the Team-managed project custom `Story point estimate` field to 0. Is there any way to clear it out?

It looks in the editmeta REST endpoint that all I can do it `set` the field, is there a way to set it to an empty value?

I've tried variations of this:

{
  "fields": {
    "Story point estimate": {{clear}}
  }
}

{
  "fields": {
    "Story point estimate": {{remove}}
  }
}

{
  "update": {
    "Story point estimate": {set:{{clear}}}
  }
}

But the only thing that has worked is setting it to 0, which is not optimal

{
  "fields": {
    "Story point estimate": 0
  }
}

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me!

Hello @Jim 

You said specifically "Story point estimate". Does that mean that you are working with issues in a Team Managed project?

Can you show us the Automation Rule you are currently using to set the value to 0? In my system "Story point estimate" is not a field that is selectable in the field list in the Edit Issue action, so I would guess you might be using Advance Editing with JSON to set it.
