Remaining time on resolved / done

[Simon Lee]

We are having the common issue of Greenhopper not showing burndown for closed / resolved cards unless the remaining time is set to zero. I have read on several forums that moving a card to the 'Done' column should either set the remaining time to zero OR at least give the option to... we only see two options, mark the issue as closed or resolved, that's it.

How do I enable this automatic setting of remaining estimate to zero when moving a card to 'done'?

Many thanks.

This was answered in https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-1423

The options are to:

1. create a workflow post function to automatically change it (as mentioned above) - see the confluence page describing how to do this: https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRAKB/Set+Remaining+Estimate+to+0+on+post+function
2. add the time tracking fields to the resolve screen to manually change it

Think there is some setting in GH - https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/GHS-2142

However our version didn't have that, so I adjusted the workflow to set it to zero using "Update issue field" post-function, or Resolve and Close.

Yeah that's what I have now done, not sure where this setting is though, like you state, I've not seen it either!

Thanks for posting.
