Help with the "Time tracking" field in automations

Question

Can someone help me?

I'm trying to implement an automation that takes the "Estimate (h)" from "Plans". The idea is that, when planning the Issue, this automation will capture the value from "Estimate (h)" and fill in the "Time Remaining", "Original Estimate", and "Story Points" fields in the Issue.

In some of my attempts, I was able to bring in the "Time Remaining", but the "Original Estimate" and "Story Points" fields were not populated.

Hi @Mauricio Carvalho _ Suporte

What did you get when trying my provided example?

Could you please add "Log Action" before the action part and provide an example?

Hello, Mauricio.
The "Estimate (h)" field from Plans corresponds to the "Time Remaining" field in Jira. So, when you fill in this field, you're already updating the Time Remaining value.
To update the "Original Estimate" field, I created an automation that is triggered whenever the Time Tracking in Jira is modified. This happens when you update the Estimate in Plans and save it. The automation checks if the Original Estimate is empty, and if so, it sets it to the same value as the updated Time Remaining from Plans.You can implement a similar logic to update the Story Points field based on the Estimate as well.

Let me know if you'd like help setting up that automation!

Hello, thanks for the reply!
Unfortunately it still didn't work. I managed to get close to the expected result, but without success. I still haven't been able to replicate the value for the 3 fields.
