How can I sum original and remaining time estimates upward to parent issues?

[Andy Smith]

We are using original time field on sub tasks to estimate effort and remaining time field to track progress. We would like to aggregate these up to the Stories and Tasks and, from there aggregate up to Epics. 

I have trawled for answers to something that I seem to remember was a standard check box option in the past but have come up with dead ends. 

Has anyone managed to use automation to do this and if so, in detail with pictures, could you please, please tell me how?

You could use the workflow properties. There is a way you can set the permission to a role based on the status of the issue. For details please see here

Hi Christophe,

You could put the role specific fields on screens that are only used when transitioning from on status to another. If you do this and don't put the fields on the edit screen you can then use the transition validators to indicate which role can execute this transistion and consequently edit those role specific fields.

It's not possible to have role based permissions for each field on a certain screen.

Best regards,

Peter
