Trying to sum the story points of linked stories to the epic level, but it's not showing up?

[Jon Zacharias]

I want to take sum the values in the Story Points field for all tickets that are linked to a specific epic and show that value in the Story Points field on the Epic.

I've set up an automation rule for this, and it appears as though it is working correctly based on the audit log results, but the value is not showing in the Story Points field on the Epic.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong here folks?

What do you have configured in the "Edit issue fields - Story points" action on the branch?

{{lookupIssue.Story Points.sum}}

Hi @Jon Zacharias

Try updating this to {{lookupIssues.Story points.sum}} and see if the rule works as expected.
