Hi All,
We have hierarchy as EPIC -- Feature -- Story
The fields Populated in Story (Original Estimate, Time Spent, Remaining time/Time tracking) are getting rolled up to Features .
Need to know Is there anyway that these field values will get Rolled up in EPIC ? This will help us in creating Dashboard on EPIC level which can give information about Estimates and efforts.
The Structure by Tempo add-on can display the rolled-up values in a column in the Structure view (although it doesn't store the rolled-up value in the parent issue, at least not yet). We're happy Structure customers who have used it very successfully for several years and recommend it very highly.
Hi Kelly,
Can you point me to the resource on how to do this? By default, not appearing to do it

Hi @Anil Konur,
If you're on Jira Cloud, then:
If you're on Jira Data Center, then:
Basically what you want to do is:
I contributed to a webinar and a Jira article a while back which I hope might also be of some help.
Best,

Hello @Sanjivani Wayal
Jira doesn't do that automatically.
You would need to use something like the Automation for Jira feature to automate rolling up the data from Features to Epics.

Hello @Trudy Claspill ,
I was trying to setup the automation but in the Select field it is only giving me option for Time Tracking , how can i also copy field Original Estimate?

Hey saw the Post and trying same thing but not succeeding original estimate is not getting updated
I tried the the automation we have hierarchy that Feature is child of EPIC or any other issue and 1 epic can have more than 1 features , so basically original estimates on all features there sum value should be populated in parent EPIC
In Action of Edit Issue i have written {{#sum}}issue.childIssues.fields.Original Estimate.sum / 60{{/}} for Original Estimate

What is in the rule Audit Log when the rule is executed?
I think you have a syntax error.
First {{#sum}} is not valid syntax for a math operation smart value. It needs to start with {{#=}}.
Additionally I don't this smart value is a valid reference. Where did you get that?
issue.childIssues

Eairlier it was updating remaining time and now after using {{#=}} its giving error also what can be used to update the field on Parent issues then in the syntax :-
{{#=}} issue.childIssues.fields.Original Estimate.sum / 60{{/}}

What is in the Audit Log for the rule when it executes?
From what document did you get the idea that issue.childIssues was a valid smart value?

Please show us the messages in the Audit Log for execution of the rule.
Please provide the link that Google gave you for the page that talks about using issue.childIssues.

This is the rule you need for summing up the Original Estimate of your Features to your Epics.
Note that this works only when you change the Original Estimate for a Feature that is already linked to an Epic. If you move a Feature from one Epic to another, this rule does not recalculate the Original Estimate for the Epic.
1. The Trigger: when Time Tracking information is changed
2. Condition: proceed only if the trigger issue is an Epic
3. Condition: Make sure that the Epic is actually linked to a Feature. If it is, the Parent Link field in the Epic will contain a value.
4. Branch up to the Feature
5. Retrieve the child Epics of that feature.
6. This is a debugging action. I am logging to the rule's Audit Log the value of the sum of the Original Estimates of the child Epics. In my system the value is stored in Seconds.
7. Edit the Feature to set the Original Estimate field.
In my system, as I said above, the Original Estimate is stored in the database in Seconds. My Time Tracking setting has the Default Unit for Time Tracking set to Hours. So I need to convert the sum to hours. That is what the .divide(3600) is for. You'll want to double check what the Default Unit for Time Tracking set to for your system to figure out what number you need to use in the division.

Thank you @Trudy Claspill for the answer i tried it but its not working no action is performed

Your post is tagged that you are using the Premium edition. Are you making your Features children of Epics through an Advanced Roadmap Plan? Are you instead using generic issue linking?
My rule works if you have made the Feature a child of an Epic through an Advanced Roadmap Plan. In that case there is no Linked Issue information shown between the two issues. Instead the relationship shows in the issue breadcrumbs.
Can you provide a screen image of the details of one of your Features showing the related Epic in the Linked Issues section?
I will get back to you on how to do this when you use generic issue linking.

Hi , Iam using general Linking to make Features the child of EPIC screenshot attached :-

In that case you need a rule like this (with different names used for the links):
In the first condition you need to be checking that the trigger issue is a Feature, not an Epic. (I don't have Features in my system so I had to specify Epic.)
Step 3 is a condition for checking if there are issues linked to the trigger issue. You can specify the type of the links you want to check. In your case you would use the link name you see in your Features that show its relationship to the Epic. It probably something like "is child of".
In Step 4 you use a For Branch / Related Issues / Linked Issues to change the context to the parent Epic of your feature. Again, here you would need to use the link info that specifies the relationship from your Epic to your Feature.
For Step 5, now that you have change the context to the parent Epic, you need to collect all the child Features of that Epic. Do this with the Lookup Issues action using a JQL to retrieve the child Feature issues. In the JQL where I used has bug you would use is parent of
And finally for Step 6 you Edit the issue in context (the Epic), updating the Original Estimate field to be the sum of the Original Estimates for all the child issues, as collected by the Lookup Issues action.
Based on the settings for my system, I had to divide the sum by 60 to get the Original Estimate of the parent issue to truly match the sum of the estimate of the child issues. The denominator for you might be different based on your system settings.

This is for Audit log
Can you help in what needs to be used to update sum of original estimate of child issues on Parent issue?
