Jira rule to sum up original estimate does not go to Initiative

[David Larsen]

I have a global rule to sum up estime time from sub tasks, to tasks, to epics and i wanted it to also go to initiative, but it does not work and i dont under stand why.

here is my rule 

It is a company wide software project with all 4 tiers.

as you can see it works until Epic

as you can see here jira sees the epics as child items to the initiative

Hi @David Larsen 

Welcome to the community.

You need a second rule for that action, this can't be done in the same rule.

See this related community posts about this.

Thank you, i will make a seperate rule for this - silly it is not default, since it is considered a parent / child relationship in Jira

Hello @David Larsen 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

Is the rule being triggered when the Epic is updated? Do you see an entry in the Audit Log for that execution?

If you do, please share the details of that with us.
