Why aren't issues with Original Estimate < 45m adding up in Epic?

Hi there!

I've been struggling with an automation that sums up the original estimate and the remaining estimate of an epic based on the estimates of the issues within the epic. I've realized that the automation works, but for some reason, it doesn't sum up estimates below 45 minutes—it treats them as zero. Additionally, when an issue has an estimate of 45 minutes, it converts it to 1 hour. This happens for both the original estimate and the remaining estimate.

Why could this be happening?

@María Paula Herrera Can you share the automation that you are using to do this. I suspect it is in your date/time calculation.

Can you provide the view of the Edit issue steps so that I can see the smart value calculation that you are using?

For the original estimate, I use the same code: {{issue.timetracking.originalestimate.sum}}image (13).png
