Copy the "Estimated Time to Complete" value on an Advanced Plan to the issue "Estimated" time field

[Neil Goodwin]

Is anyone aware of a way (via automation, scriptrunner, SIL etc.) that will take the Advanced Plan field "Estimated Time to Complete" on an issue and copy it to the actual issue "Estimated" used in time tracking.

Currently "Estimated Time to Complete" is a different field from "Estimated" on an issue. Yet the "Estimated (h) field on Advanced Plans is the same field as the time tracking "Remaining" field.

This is on Jira DC 8.20 we are using the automation Lite plugin

Hi, @Neil Goodwin 

See if this helps:

Go to - Automation.
Create a New Rule.
Trigger: "When a field is changed" (Estimated Time to Completion).
Action: "Edit the Issue field".
Field to update: "Estimated Time (Estimated)".
Value: {{issue.customfield_XXXX}} 

Best regards
