How to sum up Original Estimates from sub-tasks to Parent using automation

[Zahlan Shafeer]

Hello,

I tried creating an automation to sum the sub-task original estimate and update to the parent task/story. 

I am getting the below error. Anyone here has faced the same?

Hi @Zahlan Shafeer 

Is this smart value this...

{{#=}}{{issue.subtasks.original estimate.sum}} / 60{{/}}

...?

Also, I find it best to set both Original and Remaining Estimate when doing this.

Hey Stephen, it worked. My smart value was wrong. I changed it to {{#=}}{{issue.subtasks.original estimate.sum}} / 60{{/}}
