Remaining time Due Date related

Question

Dear Community,

I would like to create an automation rule with the following logic:

* (Trigger) When the user logs the time spent in an issue 
* (Condition) The issue is a sub-task
* Take the remaining estimate value of the sub-task’s parent
* Take the parent due date and work-out if there is still sufficient time to meet the due date
* If not, a warning email is sent to me

Is that first of all possible to implement?

If so, could you please help me out as I don’t know the syntax to use.

Thanks in advance,

Vincenzo.

Thanks @Katja Bing.

But how can I work-out via the automation rule if the remaining time is still sufficient to meet the due date.

Cheers, Vincenzo.

Hi @vincenzo.spatafora ,

There is built-in function in "Time tracking" to include Logged Work from Sub-tasks into "parent" issue:

I believe that might work for the first part of your question.

For the mail part you can create a JQL filter and subscribe to it where you can choose times when it can be sent:

"project = XXXX and remainingEstimate <= 5", depends on what amount is seen as indicator of not sufficient time left.
