How to get time-tracking or original estimate(Efforts) data of story using c# ?

Question

Hello,

I am trying to fetch issue data using c# code.
I have installed Atlassian SDK of version 2.2.0. I am able to connect JIRA and fetch data using "GetIssuesFromJql()"  function.

Issue data is coming fine but time-tracking or original estimate data is missing.I am not able to see such field in the issue i am receiving.

Could someone please help me getting mentioned issue data using c#.

Hi,

Actually I solved this now with Atlassian.SDK v10.5.0

the following code below, helps me determine if i need to create a specialised CreateIssueFields.  This is neccessary as part of the CreateIssue() if you want to initially setup correctly the Original Estimate.

private CreateIssueFields NewIssueCriteria(string project, RallyDefect item, string parent)
{
CreateIssueFields res = null;
if (item.PlanEstimate > 0)
res = new CreateIssueFields(project)
{
ParentIssueKey = parent,
ProjectKey = project,
TimeTrackingData = new IssueTimeTrackingData($"{item.PlanEstimate:##}d", null)
};
return res;
}

USAGE
var createFields = NewIssueCriteria(pKey, item, null);
var i = jira.CreateIssue(createFields);

I also used:  when i wanted to setup the "story point estimate" field.  make sure this is on your screen before using it.

SetCustom(ni.CustomFields, "Story point estimate", $"{story.PlanEstimate:#}");

void SetCustom(CustomFieldValueCollection customs, string field, object value)
{
if (value == null)
return;
if (customs[field] == null)
customs.Add(field, value.ToString());
else
customs[field].Values = new[] { value.ToString() };
}

I am using the Atlassian.SDK (10.5.0), along with Tempo, and using JIRA Core in the cloud.
basically, im converting Rally Stories/Defects into JIRA, but I cant seem to find the best way to set the Original Estimate for the story.

I've tried to use :

issue.AddWorklogAsync("0h 1m", WorklogStrategy.NewRemainingEstimate, "3d").Wait();

but this does not update the Original Estimate.

I'd like to see the original estimate being set when i create the story, I understand now the AddWorkLog is for when your altering the timeline once the story started.

Hi @Richard Clarke

Firstly, are you on server or cloud?

Secondly, whilst I said I was looking at the SDK, I've never actually used it, because the REST API has always managed to give me what I want.

So ... having answered my first question, what are you actually trying to do? Do you have some C# code working for simple queries but want to get worklogs? Or are you just starting?
