How can I update the custom field "Original story points" using project automation. I tried the "Edit issue" action. However, this custom field does not appear in the drop down list.

So, I have unsuccessfully tried the following advanced JSON settings without success:

{
"fields": {
"Original story points": ["41"]
}
}

or:

{
"fields": {
"customfield_18584": ["41"]
}
}

How should I update this field automatically?

 

Thanks,

MArc

I found the answer, it turns out that the values in the JSON file have types. In the case of the original story points it is an integer.

The correct JSON to set in the Automation is:

{
"fields": {
"Original story points": 41
}
}

So, it was quite easy :)
