Filling Story Point field automatically based on the value of a custom field

Pier Nicolò

Hi everyone,

I recently created a T-Shirt Size custom field with some sizes inside, however, as Jira doesn't support the t-shirt sizes out of the box, moving from Story Points to sizes has the consequence to lose some important features that Jira has ootb, based on the Story Points value.

I was managing this manually, assigning a defined value for each size and manually populating the Story Point field during each estimation, but then I asked if there is a way to manage this automatically, using maybe the "Automation" function or something similar.

The ideal output is:

When someone selects a specific size from the custom field dropdown, the Story Point value for that issue is automatically updated following a similar mapping:

XS = 1

S = 2

M = 5

L = 10

The automation triggers any change to the T-Shirt Size field, updating the Story Point value.

 

Thanks ahead for your help

Pier

Hello @Pier Nicolò 

This is a pretty straight forward rule to implement and if you havent written rules before, a great way to get started, I will give you overview..

• Trigger = Field change, choose this dropdown
• Condition - If/Else condition - Issue Field Condition - choose your dropdown, equals, XS, click Next, 
• Then Add Action - edit issue - choose story points - give 1

Then you continue, with "Add Else" block, choose Issue fields condition etc..

Please try to implement and share rule and audit log if issues.
