Story points field can be updated with a negative value via CSV import and Rest API

XMLWordPrintable

      Issue Summary

      Story points field does not allow populating a negative value to the field. The following error is seen when trying to update a negative value to the Story Points field:

      Time for some positivity. Story point estimates can't be negative.

      However, it is possible to populate a negative Story Points field value if the update is made via CSV import or Rest API.

      Steps to Reproduce

      • Import a story issue to a project via CSV wherein the file has a negative value set for the "Story Points" field
      Summary, Story Poits
test, -100000000

      (or)

      • Run an "Edit issue" API call to update the story points field with a negative value. 
        curl --request PUT \
  --url 'https://instancename.atlassian.net/rest/api/latest/issue/{{issuekey}}' \
  --user '<email>:<API>' \
  --header 'Accept: application/json' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{
"fields": {
"customfield_10024": -50
}
}'

      Expected Results

      The story points field should not allow negative field values to be stored via CSV or API, similar to UI behavior.

      Actual Results

      The Story Points field value is updated with a negative value via CSV or API.

      Workaround

      Currently, there is no known workaround for this behavior. A workaround will be added here when available

            This also is possible from the Create Issue screen.  While the rest of the page edits are in the new interface and will display the message, you can create new issues with negative story points.
