i need to bulk update estimates and remaining estimates.

[Andras Harman]

when they close tickets and forget to zero out remaining estimates the calculation of remaining estimates on an epic level gets distorted.

i would like to set 0 as remaining estimate for all closed items. i can do an automation for the ones to be closed in the future, but we have 1000 of closed items with estimates

anything I can do? bulk does have only story points estimates.

Hey Andras,

Welcome to the Community!

You may create an automation rule with the scheduled trigger and run it once only to fetch the closed issues and update their remaining estimate to 0.

Trigger: Scheduled trigger

Use JQL in the trigger: project = "<project key>" and statuscategory = Done and remainingEstimate != 0

Action: Edit Issue: Set the Remaining Estimate field = 0

You may disable this rule once the it is executed for all the closed issues.

For the future rules, you can write a similar rule with the issue transitioned trigger so it runs when the issue is closed.
