Adding a calculation to Original Estimate field

Derek Crawford
Derek Crawford January 6, 2021

I am looking to sum multiple fields (in hours) to the Original Estimate field.  I have 3 teams that will be estimating level of effort in hours.  I will create 3 fields for each team to place their estimate on a card/issue.  I would like all 3 fields to total to the Original Estimate.  In addition I would like the Original Estimate to be read only (non-editable).  Is this feasible?  If so, how?

@John Funk no I was not.  I have moved on from this and found other solutions for my problem.
