Have a field for multiple tasks in one epic roll up to a field in an epic

[Mona Aghamirsalim]

Imagine each Epic and Task (that is a child of the Epic) have a field called JWM Story Points. How can I have the JWM Story Points field of the epic, show the sum of  the JWM Story Points of all its children. {{issue.children.JWM Story Points.sum}}, {{issue.child.JWM Story Points.sum}} and {{issue.tasks.JWM Story Points.sum}} and {{issue.task.JWM Story Points.sum}} have not worked so far. I do know that this idea will work for subtasks -{{issue.subtasks.JWM Story Points.sum}}- for a friend of mine but I have tasks that roll up to an epic not subtasks rolling up to a task.

Hi Erwin,

check the permission scheme of your projects. There is a permission "create issue". There you can control, which projects are visible by clicking "create issue".

Best regards

I already checked the permission "Create Issues" and I'm positive that the user does not have any permission with the projects that he can create an issue with. Really strange.

[Thomas Schlegel]

that is strange. "Create issues" is the only permission that controls the selection of the projects menu in the "create issue" window. I've tested it in our Jira installation.

How did you set this permission ?

[Erwin Manuel]

'User A' only belongs to 'Group A'.

'Group A' has a developer role in 'Project A'.

developer role has permissions to 'Permission Scheme A', this is the permission scheme of 'Project A'

That is all the permission of 'User A', however, when clicking 'Create Issue', the user can see project B,C,D,F,X...

[Thomas Schlegel]

maybe group A has the developer role in Projects B, C, D ... ?

are there any projects, user A cannot see in the "create issues" view ?

[Thomas Schlegel]

you're welcome,

great you found it :-)

I found the culprit! I removed everything in the "Create Issues" permission and added it one by one to catch problem.

The culprit is the 'Current Assignee' item that was included in the "Create Issue" permission.

I removed it and the issue is gone. Thanks!
