Automation

[Ayush Lawania]

I have a custom number field in my project, and I want to automate in such a way that, whenever I enter the value in that custom number field in stories, it should sum up those values in original estimate.

Hi @Ayush Lawania 

I wrote an article about how to sum values from the original estimate on this article https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-discussions/Atlympics-Automation-Calculate-the-sum-of-original-estimate-of/m-p/1767040#M15235

Yeah but that is for time tracking field, but i have a custom field called "approx estimate required", so I want to automate in such a way that whenever i enter value in my custom field it should calculate the sum in original estimate field

So replace the "Story Point" field with your custom field.

I tried but it not working

This is the rule which i am using

Audit log shows success but it doesn't change any value in original estimate field

Try like this:

If you place a number on a number field, then if you divide it by 60, you might get a number close to 0. Thus original estimate would be zero. It's always good to add a log to know what value your smart value will return.

Ok, its working now, but it shows value in minutes not hours, is there a way to segregate in such a way that i can get value in hours, minutes and seconds

If you have set your default time tracking unit to be minutes:

Then the value you must enter on the original estimate should be in minutes. If that value exceeds e.g. 60, then it will automatically change to "1h". Seconds are not supported in time tracking.
