Card layout not refreshing

Idan Tene_xaaugu

Hey!

I've spent some time creating automation rules that reflect a card's progress using subtasks using time estimates.

The Kanban board does show subtasks, and instead it shows the sum of progress. The automation rules work nicely, but the card layout does not update automatically.

I have to "trigger" the update by either moving the story to a different status, or by adding/removing a field from the card layout.

Is this a known issue? Is there a way to force-refresh the card layout?

EDIT: An additional question, tangent to the topic, is it possible to reset the timeSpent field? I noticed one can only add to it.

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Kanban does not have estimates, so that's why you have to build an automation (you're not doing Kanban if you're putting estimates on cards)

What is the trigger for your automation, and what is it set up to change (value on a different issue, the current issue, an epic, etc)?

Hey @Nic Brough -Adaptavist-,

I'm aware Kanban does not have estimates, I'm leveraging the built-in time estimates (original, remaining, and time spent) to solve this issue, which seemed to get no love nor care.

Basically, we'd like a story's subtasks-based progress bar to show up on the Kanban board. That feature does not work. So I've resorted to leveraging the worklog, with the following automations (not perfect, but it works well enough):

When creating a new subtask, add an original and remaining estimate of 1m.
When transitioning a subtask to done, add 1m to the time spent on the task.
When transitioning a subtask from done to something else, add 1m to the remaining estimate.

Then, the Kanban board's card layout shows the sum-of-progress as a field, as well as the subtasks field. It works well, hurray!

However, the board does not update automatically once a subtask is updated. I have to e.g. move the entire story to a different status, or remove/add a field in the card layout, to trigger this refresh.

Does it update when you refresh the browser tab?

Idan Tene_xaaugu

It does not. It really feels like some trigger is required for the card layout to update.

I've found my solution meanwhile, though I believe this is not optimal.

Instead of updating the subtasks' estimates and using the sum-progress field, which apparently does not cause the aforementioned reindexing/refreshing, I instead update the parent story's estimates.

This directly changes the story's fields, and hence (probably) causes a refresh.
