What is the problem with the trigger: is it not picking up changes for your custom field?

Removing my post.

Gotcha, and thanks for explaining. You may want to consider using a separate custom field to hold that initial sizing in the epic, so you can fully manage it. The decision by Atlassian to use two separate story point fields (among other ideas) for company versus team-managed projects has caused quite a few issues. If they…

I am not familiar with the Closed field. Is that a custom field your team has added, a status in your workflow, or something else?

Thanks for the follow-up, Marco! There appear to be several "opportunities" in this area for date/time and the new issue view: https://jira.atlassian.com/issues/?jql=resolution%20%3D%20Unresolved%20AND%20summary%20~%20%22new%20issue%20view%22%20and%20summary%20~%20%22time%22%20ORDER%20BY%20Key%20DESC

That smart value I provided will average for any subtask types. If you having trouble using the smart value, then: * select your field for edit * start typing in the smart value in the Value, and it will appear below the field * once you finish typing the smart value, select it below the field, and it will be used

Thanks, @Wim Matthijs I really wish there was a comprehensive smart value glossary: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JIRAAUTOSERVER-103 Rule writers waste lots of time hunting around for answers and the correct context to get at the information in Jira. Kind regards, Bill

Hi @Sruthi Would you please provide an image of your rule? That may provide more context for the community to offer ideas. Thanks! I suspect what you are running into is that your rule's issue context cannot see all of the details of the parent until it is accessed, which is normal. Here is an example that would make that…

Hi @James Chen Have you tried using the Resolved date/time field in your validator? Kind regards, Bill

Hi @Administrador How are you trying to add the image and what do you observe happening? I just tried this two ways and it worked for me during issue create: copy/paste and upload the image using the description field's add-attachment button. Kind regards, Bill

Hi @Wael Hanfi -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community! I do not believe the names of the smart values change with language settings/issue types, so perhaps instead try: {{now.diff(issue.startDate).minutes}} Kind regards, Bill

Hi @Colum McAndrew There are two steps to do this (other than confirming the child issues are "done") in one rule: * Transition the epic to your "done" status, whatever that is called * Mark the epic as done so it drops from drop-down lists. You may do this step with an advanced edit: { "fields": { "customfield_10010": {…

Hi @Arthur Sussmilch -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community! According to this other post, that is not possible yet: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Automation-questions/Send-Slack-message-not-from-quot-Automation-for-Jira-quot/qaq-p/1538349 The suggested work-around is to added the initiator's information to the…

Hi @Neil Wills Company-managed projects use the Story Points field and team-managed ones use the Story point estimate field. Please try looking for the other one to see if that helps. Kind regards, Bill

Thanks for clarifying! The Scrum Framework can be used for managing many types of projects, although people often learn about it for helping with software, project or product development work. For non-software work, you could use the iterative and incremental nature of Scrum when you find having short planning cycles, high…

Hi @Jenni Claire Postlethwaite -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community! To help clarify your question so the community may offer ideas, do you mean to ask: * When leading software projects which are not using iterative development... * When leading non-software projects... * Something else? Kind regards, Bill

Douglas, as that is a custom field it will not be listed in Lookup Issues, but with subtasks you can do this with average. With an automation rule that would be something like this: * trigger: value changes for your custom field * condition: issue type is subtask * branch: for parent* action: edit your field with the…

Thanks, Trudy! I missed that was a business project.

The ... menu appears for project admins for both team-managed and company-managed projects. If you do not see the ... menu then you are not a project admin for that project, as you can see in your screen image. Please look at the list of all projects from the top-navigation menu to find the Project Lead, and they can help…

Would you please post what you have thus far? That may provide some context to make adjustments. And, if you are seeing errors in the audit log, please post those also. Thanks!

Thinking about this one a bit more, I realized there is a work-around with automation: create a rule with a scheduled trigger to clear the field. * trigger: scheduled (as often as you wish, such as once per hour) with JQL to find issues to update project = myProject AND issueType = subtask AND fixVersion IS NOT EMPTY *…

Good idea, as that will be faster than calling the REST API to get it. If you want to "hide" that value so it is less likely to be tampered with in the custom field, consider adding it as an entity property instead.

To check the quick filters, please try these steps: * When on the board, look for the ... at the top right side * Under that, select Board Settings * Then select Quick Filters to see which ones are available If you do not see the ... menu, then you are not the project admin. If you are a project admin, and didn't change…

Hi @Guilherme Campos -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community! For a company-managed project, I believe that "Only my issues" is a default quick filter added to the board when it is created. Have you asked your project admin if they modified/removed the filter? Kind regards, Bill

Hi @Ben Stolman -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community! The answer depends upon what you are trying to see/learn: how far work has progressed (latest status) or how far back is some work (earliest status), or something else. When you are showing the parents and children on the same Jira board, this may be less relevant as…

Hi @Douglas Oliveira As you are apparently using Jira Cloud, you could use the built-in automation for Jira rules to update the task to be the average of the sub-tasks' values. The difficulty of this depends upon the field you need averaged. There are some fields supported by the Lookup Issues action that make that easy.…

Hi @Malte Larsson Would you please explain why you want to run this rule for all issues in the project? For example, are you pre-assigning all issues to sprints far into the future? If not, perhaps changing the trigger to sprint started for the update would help. You may need a "clean-up" rule in the event your team…
