How to create an automation that sums all story points automatically to multiple parents?

[Jhonatan Farias]

Hey, everyone,

For better context, the hierarchy I usually follow is Epic -> Story -> Sub-task/Sub-bug.

I'm currently working on creating an automation that, when adding a story point to a sub-task, sums it up to the story, and then finally to the epic.

What's happening now is that it's summing all the sub-tasks story points to the story but not to the epic. It only changes the epic if I go to the story and add a new story point.

Is there a way I can create something that recognizes when a story point is added to a sub-task, updates the story points in a story, and then sums up all the stories to add the story point to an epic?
