Subtract estimation after spliting

[Haris Becic]

Hi,

we have the possibility to clone/split the issue and i want to ask you is it possible to subtract the estimation from the cloned/splited issue? For example:

Issue 1: 50 hours and we clone this issue and on the create screen we say that the cloned issue is 25 hours estimated. They are connected over issue linking. Is it possible that the first issue is then estimated with 25 hours?

Thanks Regards, Haris

Hi @Hare29,

When I try to clone an issue I don't get a create issue screen, but simply I get a new issue with the same field values as the cloned issue. How are you cloning your issues? Are you using a third-party add-on?

[Haris Becic]

Yes we are using clone++ for cloning because it provides in the "More" menu the button e.g "Create related Defect" and when you clone the issue you get another create screen. I think it should be possible with JIRA Toolbox Workflow plugin to subtract the estimations from linked issue or?

Thanks Regards, Haris

Hi @fcarmario ,

would this be possible? It is really important for us to have this feature.

Thanks Regards, Haris

Hi @Hare29,

I have installed Clone ++ and implemented with success the following solution:

1) Create a reflexive transition called "Adjust Estimation" in first status of your workflow (typically Open). This transition will have Open as origin and destination status.

2) Add condition "Transition is triggered by JIRA Workflow Toolbox post-function" to transition "Adjust Estimation". This way we are hiding it to human users, leaving it only available to JWT post-functions.

3) Add post-function "Write field on linked issues or subtasks" to transition "Adjust Estimation" with the following configuration:

Formula for setting Remaining estimate (minutes) is:

max(^{00024} - {00024}, 0)

where {00024} is field code for Remaining estimate (minutes).

4) Add "Copy a parsed text to a field" post-function in Create Issue transition with the following configuration:

I close the issue. Please, reopen it if you need to. Thanks.
