Automation Rule to sum "Original Estimate" from subtasks

Tiago S.

Hi,

I'm working on an Automation Rule, to sum all values from "Original Estimate" field from every subtask, and return the result in the same field of the parent issue.

I took a hint on this community post.  Here I got the line of code to perform the calculation.

The rule is intented to work like this:

1. The trigger is to create/make any edit to the issue 
2. Branch for Parent
3. Perform the calculation and return the result

The task has 9 subtasks. For each of them I put 1 hour as Original Estimate, to make 9 hours in total, and make it easier to se if the rule could work.

The rule actually works; as I edit any of the subtasks' Original Estimate, the value for the task is updated.

Problem is, the result doesn't make sense.

Using the following line of code

{{#=}}{{issue.subtasks.Original Estimate.sum}}/3600{{/}}

with 9 hours in total from the subtasks, I get "9m" or 9 minutes, a as a result.

 

What am I doing wrong with this rule?

Thanks in advance.
