Sum custom fields without automation

[Mimi Peters]

Hi there,

I have looked around and most of the articles explain using Automation for sum up different custom fields. I have 5 different custom fields that I want to sum up so I can see which ticket got the highest numbers so we can prioritize e.g. These fields will contribute different rating and the reporter only need to give rating between 1-5 then base on this value, it will calculate the %. I am sure its possible in Automation but wonder if I can do without it or not using any addons?

Any suggestions are welcome :)

Hi Nic,

I would like to make the aggregated remaining time estimate of the sub issues the remaining time estimate of the parent issue.

Is there a plug-In or another solution for this. We are currently planning to write a synchronizer for the database which sums the remaining time estimate of the sub issues and copies the value as the remaining time estimate of the parent issue.

But I would be happy if we can use an already available solution.

There are a number of ways to "access" the aggregates, but it depends on where you want to "access" them.  In the context of an issue view, the issue navigator, reports and dashboard gadgets, they are available as fields.  So you just use them as such. 

The next thing we'll need is to know is what context you are trying to access them in.

Hi Nic,

thanks for your answer.

Do you know a way to access the aggregate "fields" and use that value as the remaining time estimate of the parent issue dynamically?

There is no "synchronisation" to be done here.  There is no field that contains the work-logged on sub-tasks.  You need to get your plugin to work with the aggregate "fields" (which are not true fields, but calculations)
