[elisolutions_team]

Hi Everyone,

One of the most commonly asked questions we receive here in the Jira Automation is whether or not it is possible to sum up story points between Subtasks/Stories/Epics. We are very excited to announce that we have posted 2 new video tutorials that will help you accomplish this step by step.

Sum Up Story points from Stories to Epics:

• Video Tutorial Link:  https://youtu.be/PROcxEOMyGM 
• Sum Up Story Points from Stories - key Formulas:
  • JQL Lookup: issuetype in (story) and "Epic Link" = "{{issue.Epic Name}}"
  • Sum Up Story Points: {{lookupIssues.Story Points.sum}}
• Sum Up Story Points when an Epic Link is updated in a story - Key Formulas:
  • JQL Lookup: issuetype in (story) and "Epic Link" = "{{issue.Epic Name}}"
  • Sum Up Story Points: {{lookupIssues.Story Points.sum}}
• Sum Up Story Points through a Scheduled rule - key Formulas:
  • Scheduled JQL which can be updated as you require: issuetype in (epic) and status not in (done)
  • JQL Lookup: issuetype in (story) and "Epic Link" = "{{issue.Epic Name}}"
  • Sum Up Story Points: {{lookupIssues.Story Points.sum}}

Sum Up Story Points from Subtasks:

• Video Tutorial Link: https://youtu.be/60sWD66l19k
• Key Formula:
  • Sum Up Sub-tasks story points: {{issue.subtasks.Story Points.sum}}

You can use the first tutorial to update any type of relationship by modifying the conditions and JQL Lookup Issues filters. (e.g. Adding Story Points form an Epic to an Initiative)
