Scenario:
I have created custom fields in a Polaris Project e.g. High time estimate and want to send this value to the 'Original Estimate' field in a Software Project when I create a delivery ticket.
I have reviewed the below-linked article, but as I am no development engineer, I don't understand the examples and what triggers are being used to set up automation.
https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/advanced-field-editing-using-json/
I have successfully achieved a similar automation for the Polaris Overview field being transferred to the Jira Software Project Descriptions field. The key thing here is these fields are standard/preset in their respective project boards, whereas the fields I now want to be automated from Polaris are custom fields to populate preset Software fields (e.g. Story Points and Original Estimate)
How do I use custom code to do this - how do I understand the examples given in the article link to write my own automation when I am no engineer? Please make this user-friendly as I have had an engineer look at your coding examples and they can't even work out what is triggering what and delivery what.
Hi Hannah, I've sent you a follow up email.
For those following along in the Community, below is an Automation example for copying Story points from a Discovery Project to Jira Software. Note that the Story Points field is incompatible with Automation so I've created a custom field called Story point estimate JSW.
@Rohan Swamithe images don't show. Could you check?

hi @Hannah Garvin - I'm trying to update the other way (i.e. I have an Epic linked to a RDP Idea (implements/implemented by) and can't get it so that when I update my Story Point Estimate field in my Epic that it updates a RDP Idea Story Point Estimate Total (Custom Field).
Do you have a view on how this might work (i.e. would it just be reversing your automation perhaps using the 'Parent' instead of 'linked issues'?)
