Set and calculate estimates automatically based on status

[Sarath]

Hello, in jira software, I would like to set estimate for each status and calculate the remaining estimate automatically when a ticket is moved between statuses. 

For example: Time estimates to pre-configured for each status, say for open - 2 w, in-progress - 3 w, etc. 

When an issue is moved from open to in-progress after 1 w, then remaining estimate for status open is 1 w and if status is changed from in-progress to open after 1w, then remaining estimate for status in-progress is to be 2 w.

Is it possible with add-ons script runner or JWME (jira misc. workflow extension) ? Thank you.

Hi @Sarath 
You can do it with script runner. You would need to add a post function when you transition your issue. 
You can get the trial version first to see if it fit your needs.

I tried post function method to change the estimates, but I'm looking a way to update time spent field automatically, based on the ticket that is in that particular status.

Something like this ?

Hello @Sarath 

You can try to solve your issue with the help of automation and Time between Statuses add-on. This add-on helps to calculate time and notify a particular user if the time is running out. 
This event (notification of a particular user) may be a trigger in the automation.

You can download this add-on on Atlassian Marketplace and set up due to your aims.

I hope it helps

Best regards, Mariana

Thank you. Currently, we might not look at buying an add-on, so exploring workarounds.
