How to automatically move a task that is created to a new status if original estimate is filled out

[Sonny Godwin]

Currently we move issues straight to a status of "needs estimate" when they are created, however if the project manager knows the estimate they will go ahead and add it. I'd like to move the issue to the next status if an estimate is on the ticket. I tried doing this with the automation feature but it only has story points and not original estimate on it.

Can anyone help?

Hi @Sonny Godwin 

Have you tried accessing this smart value for the field:  {{issue.original estimate}}

If so, and it is still not working, please post an image of your rule definition to help the community provide ideas.  Thank you!

Best regards,

Bill

I figured it out by using jql as a condition and it worked. 

Thanks for the help!
