How can I sum the storypoints from subtasks to the issue

Klaas van der Hoeven January 13, 2022

Hi! 

I am dutch, so my english is a bit sloppy...

Okey, I've made my first Jira Project with my team.

We have:
Issues, and 'onderliggende issues' (subtasks)

I would like to sum the story points of the subtasks in the issues.

 

It simply won't work. 

For the automation see the picture.

Rule is this

{{issue.onderliggende issues.Story points.sum}}Automation.JPG

Hi @Klaas van der Hoeven , this is an often discussed topic in the community. In fact I found this post that I had seen earlier and I believe it does a good job of explaining things so I wanted to share it here - Summarizing-story-points-from-sub-tasks-in-parent-task . In this post Earl does a great job of explaining how Time estimation is summed natively. Then Sarvesh references the article on automation solution for summing the SP of sub-tasks - New-automation-smart-values-in-Jira-Cloud 

please have a read of these posts and see if that gets you further towards your goal. Please don't hesitate to come back here with questions.

Hi,

 

I did exactly what was in the video. See below. But when I change the storypoints of the subtask, the parent task is not updated...

{{issue.subtaak.Story Points.sum}}

Can be the problem that I renamed subtask to subtaak (=dutch)

 

Thanks!

Klaas

This is the situation. 'Barista Bus' has 3 sub tasks. Each with 1, 2, and 3 storypoints.
However I don't see the 6 total storypoints in the parent issue.

What am I doning wrong :)

Hi

Will you please look at my problem one more time? 
The sum of the stroypoints form sub-issues tot parent issues still does not work.
