Issue Summary

The Time remaining of an issue should change accordingly if you adjust the Original estimate of an issue before any time is logged in the issue.

Currently issues might not have their time remaining adjusted upon an Original estimate change even if no time was logged.

Steps to Reproduce

• Add a value to the Original estimate and see the Time remaining being adjusted
• Now change the Original estimate again

Expected Results

If not time has been logged in the issue the time remaining will be updated accordingly.

See the recording: Time remaining adjust.mp4

Actual Results

The time remaining might not change according to the Original estimate even if no time has been logged in the issue.

Workaround

Using Automation for Jira, you can update the "Remaining estimate" field by comparing the Original Estimate field value and the total Time spent Worklog entry.

Please find the rule details below:
