Tracking automation for time spent on subtasks

Daniel August 31, 2022

Hi everyone, 

 

Not sure if this is possible but Im trying to create an automation that fills in time spent in a subtasks with it's original estimate (or the time remaining) when task is moved to done. 

 

Currently I have this automation set up:

The problem is that it takes the original estimate from the story not the subtask. So for example if the original estimate is 1 hour for the subtasks but 10 hours in the story then it will show 1 day and 2 hours time spent instead of 1 hour.

 

Does anyone know if there's something I can do to solve this?

Hello @Alex Koxaras _Relational_ ,

I am trying something similar with little change. We do not use sub-tasks instead link tasks to story. Example below:

  • Story 1 - This is the main story
    • Task 1 - These are NOT sub-tasks but just a 'linked issue' to the story 1
    • Task 2 
    • Task 3

My team puts in the estimates and time spent against each task. While nothing is logged on story level.

But If I want to view the total of 'time spent' for task 1, 2 & 3 on story 1. How can I do that ?
