hi:

If I set an task due date an start date, can the Time Tracking  auto setting the Estimated date?

eg:

I set an task start date :2013-1-1

and the due date:2013-1-5

so the Estimated date is :5d

thanks!

Something similar. Haven't tested it. Copied the code from a couple of posts.
import com.atlassian.jira.ComponentManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue
import java.sql.Timestamp

MutableIssue mutableIssue = (MutableIssue)(ComponentManager.instance.getIssueManager().getIssueObject(issue.getKey()));
def diff = new Timestamp(issue.getDueDate().getTime() - issue.getCreated().getTime()).getTime()
def days = (int)(diff/ (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24));
mutableIssue.setOriginalEstimate(days * 8 * 3600);

No, you have to do it using a post functions mostly using Script Runner plugin. JIRA does not have a builtin feature to this.
