Log Time on epic based on total spend from trigger issue

[Florian Warncke]

Is it possible with Jira Automation (Cloud) to log time on Epic based on total spend time in Trigger issue.

Hi @Florian Warncke  -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Yes, you should be able to do that.  The technique I found was to sum up the trigger issue's time spent as seconds, and then convert it to minutes.  For example:

• Trigger: manual (I used this for the example)
• Branch: for epic (parent)
  • Action: edit issue fields, using JSON

{
    "update": {
        "worklog" : [
            { "add": {
"timeSpent" : "{{#=}}{{triggerIssue.worklog.timeSpentSeconds.sum}} / 60 {{/}}m"
                }
            }
        ]
    }
}

Best regards,
