How to edit trigger issue field from within branch

[Bindu Shrivastav]

Hi

I am trying to compute total story points when the sprint starts.

I create sample task when sprint starts, then want to add to this task's original estimate

all other tasks/stories's story points.

That way the new tasks' 'original estimate' field will save initial total story point for that sprint.

Within a branch (for all issues in the sprint) i can edit issues of the sprint only, i don't see how i can edit trigger issue's field.

Thank you for your insight.

Hello @Bindu Shrivastav 

Whenever you ask for help with an Automation rule it will enable us to help you more efficiently if you provide screen images showing the entire rule.

The focus of the rule has to be on the trigger issue in order to edit the trigger issue. A branch is probably not the right component in your use case.

Depending on your product version you may be able to use a Lookup Issue action to retrieve the issues in the sprint and then use {{lookupIssues.Story points.sum}} to get the total of the Story points fields for the issues returned by the lookup.
