Original Estimate Time tracking showing 14 hours still

Question

Hi,

I was wondering if someone can help with this so we have time estimates in the Original Estimate Field for time tracking.

We also have sub tasks where the work will happen, unit test, dev work etc.

This time is the captured and filled as a orange line.

However it still says 14 hours remaining. Is there a setting where this can be changed so it would actually say from this story which is 14 hours time tracked is 11 hours so 3 hours is remaining.

Many Thanks,

Raj

Hi @Raj Grewal,

It appears that logging time against sub-tasks does not reduce the remaining estimate of the parent item.

If you want that, you can set up an automation rule to do this for you. It should look somewhat like this:

Instead of the Log Action at the end, use an edit work item and update the Remaining Estimate field of the issue, using the following smart value for the calculation:

Hope this helps
