When defect is created under parent story, Planned effort of that new defect must get added to story

[indrasengupta]

When defect is created under parent story, "Planned effort" of that new defect must get added to story "Planned effort", currently Out of the box functionally replaces the "Planned effort" of story with "Planned effort" of defect. I want to get it added instead.

earlier story story had "Planned effort" 2, but when defect got created "Planned effort" of story got replaced with "Planned effort" of defect.

Child defect.

Hi @indrasengupta ,

Try Business rule 

 
Table: rm_defect
When: after insert
Condition: parent is not empty

(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/) {
if (!current.parent || !current.planned_effort)
return;

var parent = new GlideRecord('rm_story');
if (parent.get(current.parent)) {
// Add defect's effort to story's effort
var defectEffort = parseFloat(current.planned_effort.toString()); // in seconds
var storyEffort = parseFloat(parent.planned_effort.toString()); // in seconds

var newEffort = storyEffort + defectEffort;

parent.planned_effort = newEffort;
parent.update();
}
})(current, previous);

Hello @indrasengupta ,

How is defect created? If this is created through an UI action, check for the script in UI Action that updates planned efforts. E.g. below :

current.planned_effort = defect.planned_effort   

change to -----> current.planned_effort += defect.planned_effort
