How to clone story point of an existing story when cloning Epic and all story/tasks/sub-task ?

[Hugo Valla]

Hello Hello, 

I am trying to clone the story point field when I am cloning with automation my epic with all story/tasks/sub-task. 

Here is the automation I've created : 

It is working great but impossible to copy the story point field from the issue that is cloned through the automation to the new cloned story. 

What makes this issue a bit strange is when I'm adding {{issue.Story Points}} into the summary field I'm getting those values back 😅

Here is the error I have in the logs : 

Clone issue

Unknown fields set during clone, they may be unavailable for the project/type. Check your custom field configuration. Fields ignored -

Hi @Hugo Valla You need to contact the jira admin team to get this field added to the create screen. Once thats done, your automation will work as expected. I could reproduce this issue and fix it by adding the field to create screen

Thanks,

Hi Hugo - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

What type of project is it? Company-managed? Team-managed?

Hey @John Funk ,

Thanks for your reply. 

The project is team managed

Ah, I thought as much. I don't use those types of projects and never really figured out how they treat Story points because I don't think they really use that field - they use called Story point estimate I think but that doesn't show up in the fields to select from for the automation even though it is on the screen.

I'm having this issue now.

Trying to use story points in automation and the whole thing behaves very oddly.
