We have JIRA Premium with Advanced Roadmap and we want a field that will display the % Complete for an epic or even a custom issue type called initiative (highest on the hierarchy) Is there a way to display a custom field that will show the % complete using automation and smart values without requiring an add on.
Thanks in Advance.
Hi @Neil Rafol
Depending upon how you define "% complete" you may be able to do this using automation for Jira rules and a custom field...or just email the results.
For example, let's say you ignored sizing/estimation and just counted issues. You could count the total things in an epic and divide that into the number completed, showing percent of issues completed.
If instead you wanted to account for sizing, you could sum the story points for the calculation. For estimation with time tracking, this is a bit harder and should still be possible.
Best regards,

this is exactly what we are looking for:
Normally we would use story points for calculating but this specific initiative doesn't factor in that.
Thanks for that info. Now you need to decide when you want this value updated, such as on a schedule (e.g. daily) or whenever a work item changes. Here is an example if you wanted to trigger this manually:
{{#=}}CEILING({{varDoneCount}}/({{varTotalCount}})*100){{/}}% Completed
To get you started implementing this, please take at this information about automation rules:
If you have issues with the rule, please post your rule and the community can help.
Thank you for the response. I will test the email notification but also I am looking to populate a custom field called % complete.
so this works very well with individual EPICs but what if we wanted to scan all the Epics in a particular Jira project. How can we substitute a single Epic query in exchange for a % complete calculation for each Epic in and entire Jira project without having to change the Epic key each time???
Thanks in advance....
Hi @tyrone kimble
One way to do this is to copy the rule and change the copy to use a scheduled trigger rule with JQL, looking for open (i.e. not done) Epics where the % complete field is empty. Automation rules can process up to 100 issues (due to performance limits).
Let the rule on a schedule until it gets caught up for the epics, and then disable it.
Kind regards,Bill
