In advanced roadmaps, how can I roll up issue progress from multiple hierarchy levels?

Question

The advanced roadmaps issue hierarchy I'm using is Initiative, Epic, Story.  I would like to be able to show an aggregated rollup of Story-level progress at the Initiative level.

By default, the Progress field on an Initiative will show Epic progress, but I do not see a mechanism that would count Story progress instead. Is there a configuration or other technique available that could enable this multi-level rollup?

One footnote: We do not use story points, that's not a viable option.

So far I have not found information about changing the basis for those progress bars. They appear to be limited to the direct child issues.

The basis for progress is the count of stories in either todo, inprogress or done status categories. That's why I am seeking a technique to aggregate and roll up story counts across the epics for an initiative.

If you are not using Story Points, what would you use as the basis for measuring Story-level progress rolled up to the Initiative?
