Copyint "story point estimate" to "Story Points"

Question

I have an automation rule that originates in a next gen project. If an issue there receives a value in the field "story point estimate" it will create a clone issue in another project, which is a classic project.

In the target issue I thus do not have the field "story point estimate" but only "Story Points". How can I fill this field with the story points estimate from the next-gen issue?

Thanks in advance!

Hi @Isabelle Giegling

The Story Point Estimate field does not appear to be accessible yet for Next Gen automation rules.  Here is the backlog item for it:  https://codebarrel.atlassian.net/browse/AUT-1393

It appears the field can be accessed directly for queries, as noted in this community posting:

https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-Software-questions/Rules-Fields-does-not-contain-quot-Story-point-estimate-quot/qaq-p/1386600

However, I do not believe that work-around will help with the problem that you are trying to solve to copy the Story Point Estimate into a cloned issue.

Best regards,
