How to get a numerical value and convert it to hours?

Sam_navekq

Hi All,

I am trying to copy a numerical value from the story over to the sub-task issue and have that convert to hours.

If the story's LOE field is updated -> copy that number to the subtask in hours over to the Original estimate field.

Here is my rule, but I am only getting errors and no results whatsoever:

Hi @Sam

The smart value in your edit is incorrect. If you want the field from your custom field, use only the trigger issue prefix:

{{triggerIssue.yourfield}}

Next, the remaining syntax of your field edit is puzzling. What are the name and type of the field in your Story? The syntax you show looks more like a cascading field rather than a numeric field.

If it is just a number, there is no need for the sum as it is just a number.

Kind regards,
Bill

This seems to work, but it defaults my time entered on the original estimate to min. How can I convert this to hours?

So far I have tried this, but no luck:

What are the units of measure of your source, custom field: seconds, minutes, etc.

My understanding is the built-in, time tracking values, available to rules, are in seconds. When you divided by 60 that gives a value in minutes.

And so you could divide by 3600 instead or add a units of measure of h (for hours) at the end of setting the field.

Hi, it defaults to minutes. I have tried the below, but still get no results. I would like to get the LOE which is a number convert to hours. Please let me know where I am wrong:

{{#=}}{{triggerIssue.LOE.divide(3600)}}
