Does Jira support sum-up and roll-up functionality natively, or is a custom solution required?

Hi @Sonu 

As suggested by others you can build your own custom solution for this requirement or use a mktplace app for the same. As the summing up features are limited in Jira.

If you are open to try out a mktplace app, do take a look at

Issue Hierarchy 

The shows Epic Hierarchy and progress at each parent level. It rolls up time tracking fields, story points and any numeric custom fields too.

(Disclaimer: I work for RVS, the vendor for this app)

Hi @Sonu,

In general the Jira gadgets and reports are based on issue count, not sum of a field.

If you need stats by sum of fields, a possible solution would be to search for a plugin on Atlassian Marketplace. 

In case you want to try a plugin, our Great Gadgets app offers some dashboard gadgets that allows you to generate stats based on sum of fields, counts, percentages, etc. The gadgets to look at are:

• Pivot Table & Pivot Chart gadget - lets you generate pivot tables, heatmap tables and charts of various types just like in Excel
• Advanced Issue Filter formula gadget - lets you apply math formulas by combining the data from multiple filters/JQLs. Helpful to display counts, sum of fields, average or metrics based on custom math calculations
• Issue Filer Formula gadget - displays count, max, sum of field, average, etc and display the result as a number, colored number or gauge chart.

Hi @Sonu 

There is limited summing capability for dashboard gadgets and the built-in reporting for project boards.  There is no generic "sum any field" capability.

Some possible workarounds include:

• exporting issues for reporting in external tools
• using the REST API to pull issue data into external tools
• using Atlassian Marketplace addons / apps for dashboards, reporting, or to script field summation
• using custom fields and automation rules

Kind regards,
Bill
