How to Copy "Original Estimate" to "Remaining Estimate" when Original Estimate is modified on a JIRA Issue
Platform Notice: Cloud Only - This article only applies to Atlassian products on the cloud platform.
Summary
Jira Admins would like to have the automation where, when the "Original Estimate" is changed, then the "Remaining Estimate" should also get updated to the same value.
Solution
The automation rule/Structure looks like below:
When: Value changes for Time tracking
If: Compare two values
Checks if:
{{fieldChange.field)) equals timeoriginalestimate
Then: Add value to the audit log.
{ {timeoriginalestimate)}
And: Edit issue fields
Remaining Estimate (smart value:
{{timeoriginalestimate.divide(60)}}
)
