Original Estimate: smart value doesn't work if time is less than 1 hour

[DS]

Hello every one

I built an automation to update a field related to the original estimate. 

But when i fill original estimate by 30m(or any data less than 1h), jira switch it by 0.5h. 

That's ok but the automation doesn't seem to understand as i wish because, the result is 0 and i expect 4.

This is my automation smart value

• {{#=}} {{ issue.fields.timetracking.originalEstimateSeconds.divide(3600).mutiply(8) }}

It works with an original estimate greater than 1.

Can you help me please ?

Hi @DS -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

For a question like this, please post an image of your complete automation rule, images of any relevant actions / conditions / branches, an image of the audit log details showing the rule execution, and explain what is not working as expected.  Those will provide context for the community to offer ideas.  Thanks!

Until we see those...

Have you included the units of measure when you set the field value?

Kind regards,
Bill

Thank you Bill and sorry for my mistakes. 

I have edited my post with images.

No i don't includ units, i set the field value to a "number field" from which its name is enough, i don't need it. 

i also see, jira return round values. 

for exemple, if originalEstimate = 1h2m, result expected is 8.48 but it's 8.

I am using Jira Cloud, not Data Center, and so I wonder if there is a difference in behavior with the units of measure.

Where in your rule are you seeing the Original Estimate as I do not see that?

Also, your rule appears to edit a field and then write to the audit log.  When a rule runs, the actions are based on the issue values at the time the rule started.  It does not automatically update those in-memory values, even though you have updated the Jira database with the rule actions.

Please try adding a Re-fetch Issue action after your edit and before the write to the audit log:

Thank you Bill.

I find another solution which works. 

On a confluence page, i add a "jira filter/issue" macro inside a "table transformer" macro. 

Then with an SQL query, i'm able to convert "original estimate" as integer and multiply it.

Than you for your time 

Best Regards
