When trying to use a Epic->Story-> Subtask hierarchy I can not get the time reported on the Subtask to auto populate on the Story issue. 

 

I like the way that Sub-tasks link to Stories on a Kanban board. I want the Story to remain present and the subtasks to move through a swim lane. 

 

Does anyone have any suggestions to fix this? I tried to use tasks instead of subtasks. This fixes the time roll-up issue but the tasks do not roll up under the stories like the subtasks do.

Hi,

 

You should be able to roll up time logged from Sub-task to Parent. You have a checkbox to do so.

This panel should be displayed as long as you have an estimate/ time logged on the task or one of the sub-task.

 

You cannot roll up to the Epic level . It will require an app for that. You can test app related to "Time Tracking" 

 

WorklogPro seems to do it but there is propably other app that do it too.

Hi @Florian Bonniec I hope all is well

I have the same issue and the include sub-task tick box does not appear on the main story that the sub-task is included

I am using the newer Jira view not sure if this is the issue or if I should add that as a field on the story?

Thanks :)

Hi

 

What do you mean by "newer Jira view" ? Are you on Cloud or Data Center version ? What is your JIRA version ?

 

Do you have sub-tasks under the task ?

 

Regards

Hi

Thanks for the promt reply - we are on the Cloud version

The link you shared above is the "old Jira view"

We are on the newer view and while I have created sub tasks under a story there is no field option to check for the estimate from sub tasks to shown /track to the main story

Please see below the fields I see on the main story (there are 5 subtasks in that story all estimated 1h each - it is a test ticket we are trying to solve the same issue as mentioned on that thread)

Hi @Theo.Vlagkas 

 

I think you are facing this bug, https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-70150.

Hi @Florian Bonniec 

Thanks for looking into this more but we are missing one step

On our Jira we don't even see the field to have the check-box that says "include sub-tasks" this is not present as seen below

Any thougths of how we could activate that one?

Thank you
Theo

I am successful with this automation, rolling my subtask time estimate into my task time estimate. But my task time estimate is not rolling up into my epic.

Automation.pngAutomation2.pngHopefully this can help you, and someone can help me with my challenges. 

I have three levels:

Epic

      Task

             Subtask

                        1

                        2

                        3

One two and 3 total Original Estimate = 10hours

10 hours is reflected in my Task Original Time Estimate

But that 10 Hours is not reflected in Epic, Epic shows 0 (Zero)
