Reduce story points for epic automatically

Question

Hi,

I want to reduce story points from epic automatically based on the number of story points of the stories present in them.

Ex, I have an Epic - Epic 1 with 13 story points.

If I have 2 stories in that epic - Story 1 (5 story point), Story 2 (3 story point).

Is there any feature available so that the epic's story point changes to 5 story point automatically? (13 - (5+3))

@homoluden, I don't think this answers the original question though. I think the ask is to change the story point field in the epic automatically based on the child issues in that epic.  Both Portfolio and the backlog view will show this, BUT the epic itself still has the original 13 in the example above.

Good point @Alexey Matveev. I was assuming the sum display was desired in the issue detail view but for sure this view is a good solution!

Hello @Mouli

As @Alexey Matveev has already mentioned that the epic panel already has the sum of the story points of the child issues.

You can also use Portfolio plugin, which sums up the story points of the epics and provides the aggregated points at the epic level. Along with details like "original estimate" and current estimate  so that it becomes easier to measure the variance.
