How do I create a conditional progress or status field at epic level?

Question

I'm trying to create an automation that will update a progress or status bar % based on the number of stories in that epic with a particular status. For example, if I have 10 stories in the epic, with 4 having 'ready for dev' status, 1 'to do' and the other 5 'under analysis', I want the progress bar to show 40%, 10% and 50% (and if I had 7 statuses, the different % for each status). How do I create this?

Welcome to the community.

There is nothing native in Jira to support what you have described (adding a progress bar that shows within the display of an Epic issue).

There are native Dashboard gadgets that could be used with Saved Filters to give you that type of information.

There is a Pie Chart gadget that you could use with a Saved Filter that retrieves the child issues for a specific Epic. The pie chart display will show you percentages when you hover over a section of the pie. You can set the Statistic Type to Status to have the wedges based on the status of the issues in the Epic.

This is just an example and not specific to showing Status statistics.

There is also an Issue Statistics gadget that can also be used with a Saved Filter, and would display the data in a different way.
