Calculate due date based on Original Estimate

Liz T

November 3, 2022

Use Case: We are using the Original estimate field to estimate how long a task should take. Ex: Original estimate = 3w

We'd like the End date to update when somebody updates the Start date on a task, based on the Original estimate.
Ex: Start date 11/3/2022 + Original estimate 3w = End date  (11/24/2022)

Question: Does anybody have a suggestion on how I could create this automation?
I got this far:
>>When field value changed --start date
>>then edit issue --due date
but then don't know what to put in...I've tried various JQL, but can't get it to work.

Would this need to be a JQL or should it actually be JSON?

You can use the jira.table.cols.subtasks advanced setting.

See Advanced.

Dear Jobin,

as we have the same "problem" / demand on the resolution status in the subtasks overview list...

Is there any more detailed handling advice available on what exactly to add to which property file to make the "Resolution" visible in the list of subtasks? Following the documentation link above it is not clear to me which tweak would be required.

Thanks for your support and best regards,

Markus

Edit the property as mentioned above and add "resolution" at the end (of comma separated values).

Okay, thanks. I guess it becomes clearer know why I had the problem... Is it possible that this configuration setting is not visible for JIRA-OnDemand Administrators?

You are right. This is restricted on onDemand. You won't be able to change it.

Hi all, is this ever likely to be added in for OnDemand? Or has anyone found another way of achieving a similar outcome.
