Track User story in % completion based on status of subtasks

Hi,

I've recently starting using Jira and still on a learning path.

There are quite some threads on topics related to this but I wasn't able to find a  solution.

What we are trying to do is below.

1 User story has 4 subtasks created by default

During our reporting we would want to know how much of a story is complete for example in % based on subtask status. 

For example if three subtasks are complete we want to see 75% complete in our report.

 After checking existing dashboards/plans/reports we couldn't find any thing that does the above so after referring to community thread an idea was to setup a custom field in User story and update that based sub task statuses with Automation.

Any help with this will be appreciated, thanks.

Regards,

Abhishek

Hi @Abhishek 

What type of Cloud plan are you on, if you are on Premium, you can use plans.

Create a plan, make sure your related issues are in the plan, based on project, board or filter.

Then in the fields section, find the field Progress (Issue Count).

On selecting the bar you can see the progress based on status category in % as well

In the other hand, you could do tis with automation as you suggested.

You will need a custom field where to store the number of sub-tasks on a story and another field that will update based if the sub task is done (if you want to see % on more statuses, create field for this as well)

And a field to store the percentage ( or more if you want to see based on sub-task status)

Fields need to be of the type Number

I suggest to do it first just based on Done sub-tasks.

So there should be an automation that triggers based on if sub-task transfers to Done, then update the number field for closed sub-tasks by 1

Then there needs to be an automation that divides the initial nr. of sub-task / closed nr. of sub-tasks and stores the information in the nr. field for result as percentage on the story
