Insight logged more than available remaining time.

[Michel van de Wiel]

is it possible within Jira to automatically receive an email when more time is logged on a ticket than is available in the 'Time Remaining' field?

And what settings would I need to configure? That might be the most important question.

Thanks for the support!

Setup for now:

Hi @Michel van de Wiel 

The smart values your rule references are the human-readable ones for time tracking.  Instead, please try this to detect when the current total logged time is greater than the original estimate as number values:

• smart value condition:
  • first value: {{issue.timetracking.timeSpentSeconds}}
  • condition: greater than
  • second value: {{issue.timetracking.originalEstimateSeconds}}

For rules like this, it helps to review the structure and actual smart values for issues as they are not all listed in the documentation.  You may find them using this how-to article:
