How to determine the correct link to use in JIRA that will capture log hours from link User Stories?

[Mendoza_ Joseph Conrad]

Hi All,

I have a question about the links available in JIRA.

I have this task wherein I need to identify the correct link that I can use in two user stories.

I have a Main User Story wherein I will link other user stories.

But I will need to capture all the efforts/log hours from the user stories that our linked to the main user story.

Hope someone can help me. I am trying "relates to" or "part" links but nothing is happening.

Thank you.

Hi,

where are you getting the worked hours log from? "Time tracking" field on issues or in a bother way?

Hi Marta, good day to you.

yup in the time tracking.

It is possible to sum up the logged work on the epic level as it was described in here https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Automation-questions/How-to-sum-Task-and-Sub-task-Time-Tracking-under-the-Epic/qaq-p/1783949

However to do it for stories linked to another story [same hierarchy level] that would call for a more complicated matching in the automation as above - you would have to add by hand a condition that when a time tracking field is updated in any of there stories [KEY-NUMBER] then the value on the main story [KEY-NUMBER] should be updated to sum of all the fields from all the [non-main] stories.
