Hi @PP , welcome to the Atlassian Community and thanks for your question.

Please can you explain a bit better what you're trying to achieve?

You want to sum up custom fields and then show that value in a dashboard gadget? 

I wrote an article about how to sum up values in different custom fields using lookup tables. I don't know if this could help you https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Automation-articles/How-to-use-Automation-Lookup-Tables-for-calculated-values/ba-p/2907218 

Please share your feedback if I've misunderstood or you need more help. 

Best wishes

There is a custom numeric field called QA estimation in Jira. I need to:

 1. See the total sum of all values from this field across issues and displays on dashboard.

 2. Calculate how much work each team member completed based on this field during the sprint.

How can this be done without plugins or complex configurations?

I don't really understand this problem because it's a different area

Hi,

welcome to the community!

I understand that solutions from the Atlassian Marketplace might not be an option for you at the moment, but just for future reference: I believe that your use case would be easy to solve using the app that my team and I are working on: JXL for Jira.

JXL is a full-fledged spreadsheet/table view for your issues that allows viewing, inline-editing, sorting, and filtering by all your issue fields, much like you’d do in e.g. Excel or Google Sheets. It also comes with a long list of advanced features, including support for (configurable) issue hierarchies, issue grouping by any issue field(s), sum-ups, or conditional formatting.

With these, you can build a view like e.g. this in just a couple of clicks:

storypoints-per-assignee.gif

I'm using story points here, but it would work the same with any custom field.

This is really just one of a virtually endless number of possible views and reports; you can also view and group by any other issue fields, configure different sum-up styles, etc. etc.

This all just works - there's no scripting or automation whatsoever required.

Any questions just let me know,

Best,

Hannes
