Story point estimate Automation

Question

Hi Everyone

The automation is supposed to aggregate all 'Story point estimate' values from tasks associated with an epic and then update the corresponding field on the parent epic with this calculated value.

Running the following automation however, always updates the 'Story point estimate' on the Epic as 0

I've also tried the following but it gives me an error:

Error editing issuesWP-79 (Specify a number for the custom field (below 100,000,000,000,000) (customfield_10016))

Hi @Gregory Tampagaris

I believe the Story point estimate field is a number field, as the error message indicates.

Please remove the quotation marks from the number value in your JSON for the advanced edit.

{
  "fields": {
    "Story point estimate": {{lookupIssues.Story point estimate.sum|0}}
  }
}

Kind regards,
Bill

Hi @Gregory Tampagaris

could you please add a log action and put the smart value for the Story point estimate sum up in there, to see what the rule is trying to write to the field?
