Automation to set a default estimate for all features created

I'd like the ability to set a default estimate for all features created. I checked the automation rules and the estimate field is not an option to update via automation rules.

Some of our teams are doing a no estimates style of capacity planning where capacity is calculated in counts not points. This would work with the existing Aha capacity planning tools by simply defaulting every feature's estimate to 1. However since the estimate field is not available via automation and is also not available via bulk changes capacity planning is extremely manual and time-consuming.

    We have a similar use case where we use a custom field to do out t-shirt sizing. Each t-shirt size relates to a number of points and we would like to be able to have automation based on the custom field then updating the initial estimate field.

    We have a similar need to use this in Automation in that our dev team provides estimates in a custom field on the features in Jira. We have that estimate mapping to a custom field in Aha and would like to set an automation that when the custom field is updated, it updates the Aha estimate field too.
