How Do I Propagate a Formula Up The Hierarchy

Daniel J. Pinter
October 10, 2025

In my team's structure I have a calculated LOE to verify that the total LOE on work items is correct. If the calculated LOE and the total LOE don't match then a red circle is displayed.

How do I get the red circle to propagate up the hierarchy?

Hello @Daniel J. Pinter 

You can display the red circle for parent issues if any of their direct children have it with a formula like this:

if sum{if calctotalloe - totalloe <>0: 1}>0: ":red_circle:"

I hope this helps. If you have more questions about Structure, please reach out to us directly at our support portal.

Best regards,

Hi @Daniel J. Pinter , thanks for your post.

I would open a ticket to Structure to ask for help with this - https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/34717/structure-by-tempo-jira-portfolio-management-ppm?hosting=cloud&tab=support 

Normally I would suggest to read the product documentation but you are already quite far along so I think the product experts are likely the best placed to help you.

Best wishes
