What is the reason for the update the Original estimate

[Valeriy Kosenko]

Hi, everyone,

I noticed the following situation in one of Story at night or early in the morning the Original estimate was increased on my behalf.

I changed the Original estimate, but it increased again

I checked the values of the estimates of the child issues, but they do not have such large values.

This is the first and only case among many issues, and this has never happened before.

I would be very grateful for your help or a hint on where to look for the cause.

Hi,

I may have to do with an add-on. Do you have any add-ons in place?

See this post if you have a similar issue:

Hi, @Benjamin 

Thank you for directing the search for the cause. I think I found the cause and how to fix it - see the screenshot below.

I'll see what happens tonight and let you know the results.

Awesome. Glad you narrow down the possible cause!

Hi, @Benjamin 

All these days, I tried to fix the problem but could not.

I can manage the Original Estimate in Big Picture.

But after changes, the Original Estimate in Big Picture does not automatically change the Original Estimate in Jira.

I manually changed the original estimate in Jira, but Big Picture automatically returned it to its original value.

Big Picture settings are as follows

I'm glad to hear any thoughts on where to look for the cause.

Who does the issue history name as the person who changed the estimate?
