Sum up Original estimated hours from child tasks to parent Story

[Denys Pavlov]

Hello,

I've been searching for a post or guide on how to sum up the hours of child tasks into a parent Story, but I haven't found anything that addresses the issue I'm trying to solve.

We have a Story that is the parent of several tasks. Each task has an original estimate in hours, and I would like to see the total of all these estimated hours reflected in the parent Story.

Could you please help me create an automation for this? Or could you point me to a relevant post or guide where I could find some answers?

Thank you!

Hi Denys,

See if this article helps you. It's different fields, but there's a lot out here in the Community on summing up these types of fields.
