Question

The ESTIMATE field displays the sum of the hours of the ORIGINAL ESTIMATE for each task, but the EPIC ORIGINAL ESTIMATE field does not display the sum.

Hi @Luciana Góes

You may do this summation with an Automation for Jira rule.  Please see this post for more details: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-Software-questions/Sum-up-to-Epic-the-original-estimate/qaq-p/1880764

And also note: the Lookup Issues action in rules now supports all fields, including Original Estimate, so it is much easier to find this sum.

Kind regards,
Bill
