How to Count all Done and Not Done subtasks across all tasks within an Epic

How to  Count all Done and Not Done subtasks across all tasks within an Epic whenever any subtask belonging to a task in that Epic is changed.

Hi @Suja Sugathan 

You have to use automation and store the values in a field

Working solution:

1. Trigger: Issue updated
2. Condition: Issue type = Sub‑task
3. Branch (Smart value):
4. {{issue.parent.epic.key}}

Then

1. Lookup Issues:
   To count all Not Done subtasks across all work items in the Epic, use the new JQL field:
2. parentEpic = "{{issue.parent.epic.key}}" AND type = Sub-task AND status != Done
3. Count the subtasks:
4. {{lookupIssues.size|0}}

This returns the total number of matching subtasks (with |0 ensuring a fallback when none exist).

To store the values, you can add an “Edit Issue” action inside the Epic branch and write the count into your custom fields (e.g., Subtasks Done / Subtasks Not Done).

Hope this helps!

Hi @Suja Sugathan

Where do you want this info to be displayed, more exactly?

Do you want it on the epic screen, on the task screen, on a dashboard, in a report...
