How to update time estimate fields in Jira using Zapier?
I’m getting this error despite having given the agent access to my JIRA instance:
I've analyzed the Jira issue and calculated that it needs a 15-minute time estimate (based on finding the "Keywords" phrase in the description). However, I don't see an action available that would let me update the time estimate field in Jira. Could you please provide me with an action that can update Jira issue fields?
Any ideas?

Hey Troy, this is using Zapier agents. There is no Zap set up.

This is an agent that I’m asking to auto set a time estimate on JIRA tasks based on business rules. It’s doing everything correctly but doesn’t have an action available to update that field, so it says.
The right side is the variable description, which should be a description for what the Agent should output for that variable name.
That would mean the Agent Zap step always returns as variable like this: Time Estimate = 15
If you are going to use a static value (15), then you probably don’t need a Zap Step for the Agent.

The agent output should be giving me a time estimate for a task based on business rules. It is dynamic. Based on that output, the next step in the zap is to update the time estimate field with the response from the agent.
@ben.weisman
Based on the help article, for an output field, the right side should be a description/instructions for the agent about what to output for the field “Time Estimate”.
It should NOT be just a number.
Basically, in plain language, write a sentence about what you want the agent to output as the value.
Make sure to indicate the format (e.g. only numbers between 0-N)
