originalEstimate reporting incorrect values when originalEstimateSeconds is correct

[Austin Isaacs]

I'm working on a system where a customer submits a request and subtasks are generated based on the request, each with their own time estimate. I want the total estimated time reported on the main task and have been running into issues with the original estimate being days to months off. Looking through the code, time tracking is calculating the originalEstimateSeconds correctly (in the case below 16.25hr) but originalEstimate is reporting 2d 15m. I have the original estimate set to join the times from the subtasks and divide by 60 to convert to minutes.

timetracking":{"originalEstimate":"2d 15m","remainingEstimate":"0m","originalEstimateSeconds":58500,"remainingEstimateSeconds":0}

Any ideas what is going on? Does it have to do with the w/d/h/m format for original estimate not interpreting the time correctly?

Hi @Austin Isaacs 

My guess is your Time tracking setting are setup so that there are 8 working hours per day. This means every 8hrs will be converted to 1 day.
