Structure Story Points Aggregation

Question

Using Structure on Jira cloud I don't understand the behavior of the numbers...

When looking at the Story Point field it looks ok.

When looking at the Sum of Story Points field - why do I see the  number 26 and why does it change whenever I change the value in the field to the left?

Is it according to original estimation and then it is updated if I add or remove SP?

Is there an option to view only the latest sum?

Hello @Yaniv

The Σ Story Points column aggregates Story Points in the hierarchy. I.e. you get 26 for the top issue because it has 13 Story Points individually, and there is the 8 + 5 Story Points summed up value from its sub-issues. The column reflects the existing values in the Story Points field in Jira, so if you change the field's value, what you see in the column is changed as well.

I hope this helps. If you need further assistance or have other questions about Structure, please reach out to us directly at our support portal.

I think I found the issue...might happen when editing the SP value manually on the Story when it has sub-tasks with SP
