Is there a way to see the total hours of all subtasks from the parent card after estimating them?

Question

After estimating the hours to the subtasks of a Story or Bug card, is there way to see the total sum of all the subtasks from the parent card?

In older JIRA (not in cloud) when we come to parent card, we can see the list of all subtasks and there we can see the Original estimate even before someone start working on the sub-tasks. But here it is not happening.

In older JIRA (not in the cloud version), when we accessed the parent card, we could see the list of all subtasks and their original estimates even before anyone started working on them.

However, in the current version, we can see the list of subtasks but not the original estimate hours.

Hi Ajay,

Thanks for the response.

I tried creating the suggested rules, but it seems they focus more on consolidating the story points for all the subtasks and adding them to the parent card.

I am more interested in how to add the original estimates (in hours) of all the subtasks and display the total sum of hours on the parent card.

I do not see any attribute labeled "Original estimate" in the Action section of the rule creation and am wondering if this is possible?

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Have you looked at Automation for Jira rule for achieving the use-case? You could do something like this rule below
