Automatic comment insertion if the original estimate field changes

[Manuel Carmona de la Cuesta]

Hi,

Is it possible to set an automation trigger based on changes in the original estimate field?

I need to insert a comment in the issue when someone sets a value for or changes that field.

I don't think it's possible (after some research) but if anybody could please comment on that or think of a workaround I'd be really grateful.

Thanks in advance,

M

Hi @manu 

You can trigger off the original estimate change by selecting field 'Time Tracking'. You can access the original estimate change by using the smart value `{{fieldChange}}` which will include the field `originalEstimate`

Cheers

Thank you very much, @Sam Harding

It worked.

Finally I used something like:

{panel:title=Estimated development time}
{{issue.timetracking.originalestimate}}
{panel}

{{issue.key}}'s {{fieldChange.timetracking.originalestimate}} field was updated from {{fieldChange.fromString}} to {{fieldChange.toString}} by {{initiator.displayName}}

The first part shows and informative panel with the original estimate.

The second part (which I copied from another post by @John Funk) shows the value change, if any.

Unfortunately, the time is showed in seconds and I don't find a way to change the format to hours (even after having configured that format in the Issue Features > Time Tracking section.

Anyways, much better than expected.

Thanks again,

M
