How to sum subtasks estimations to parent task automatically?

[Pooja]

For Example.

1. Story A has 3 subtasks,

• Subtask 1 - 2 hours
• Subtask 2- 3 hours
• subtasks 3- 1 hour

So Story A = 6 Hours.

Parent Original Estimation field should get updated automatically once we update the Original estimation field of subtasks. How can we make it possible with the automation of the jira plugin?

Hi Pooja,

Were you able to configure an automation script to have story-level issues' time estimates equal the sums of their sub-tasks' time estimates? Unfortunately, the post shared by John appears to address story-point-based estimation only.

Hi Ricardo
I an interested in this as well - have you found something?

Hi Pooja,

Take a look at the end of this post and see if what John describes is what you are looking for.
