Automation for linked issues

Yvonne_9u8rx8

Hello!

We have Task linked (implements) to Story.

I wanted to create an automation rule for whenever Task has time tracking changes, we will recalculate Story’s all linked (is implemented by) issues’ total remaining hours and update it in the Story’s Story Points filed. Is it possible? Any suggestion?

Hello @Yvonne

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

Are you working with Jira Cloud or Jira Server/Data Center? If your URL is similar to

...then you are using Jira Cloud.

The Story Points field is a simple number field. When you get the remaining time do you want the calculation to figure out the value as hours, and simply insert that number into the Story Points field? Will the users know that the Story Points field is being used for the Remain Estimate (in hours) for the "is implemented by" linked Tasks?

Hey Trudy, thank you for your reply!

The reason that I wanted to have the sum remaining time of link issues(is implemented by) recorded is to have an idea of how long the story still needed to be completed. Because we are link the Task as sub task to Story instead of breakdown the Stories to sub task directly.

As for “When you get the remaining time do you want the calculation to figure out the value as hours, and simply insert that number into the Story Points field?”

Yes, it would be great if I can get the value as days and insert to the Stroy’ story points field

Will a Task every be linked to multiple Story issues with the "implements" relationship?

What would you want to do if it was linked to multiple Story issues?

Yvonne_9u8rx8

It will happen if the Task implements multi Stories. In this case once time logged on Task, it need to find all it linked (implements) Stories. Then the Stories to find its linked (is implemented by) Task to get the sum of the remaining time and update Story points field.
