Automation: Sum the estimated time of all related issues

This is the scenario:

I created a new issue type "Slavetask" as the normal subtask did not match our "workflow".

As, as far as I know, it is not possible to create Parent/Child relationship by myself, so I started to build an automation rule to handle this problem.

This is what I have:

  1. Issue updated
  2. If linked issues present (Type Slave of)
  3. Then: Create variable "estimatedTime" value issue.timeoriginalestimate
  4. Branche Rule For linked issues types Slave of
  5. ------- BRANCH RULE START -------
  6. Lookup issues JQL: issue in linkedIssues("{{triggerId}}") AND issueLinkType in (MasterSlave,"Master Of") AND status != closed
  7. ------- BRANCH RULE END -------
  8. Branch Rule JQL: issue in linkedIssues("{{lookupIssues.key}}") AND issueLinkType in (MasterSlave,"Slave Of") AND status != closed
  9. ------- BRANCH RULE START -------
  10. Create variable "Estimated Time" value: {{#=}}{{timeoriginalestimate}}+{{estimatedTime}}{{/}}
  11. Log action: ik: {{issue.key}}, zeiten: {{issue.timeoriginalestimate}}, eT: {{estimatedTime}}
  12. ------- BRANCH RULE END -------
  13. Log action: est {{estimatedTime}}

 

So far so good. Within the branch rule no2. it returns the correct sum of the estimated time for each single issue + the trigger issue. But it does not sum up at all.

 

Also the last log action is fired before the last Branche rule is executed (as i can see in the log as it stands before the other log output).

 

Is there a way to get the sum of all this issues and add it to the master? At the moment I only can do it with the trigger issue data.

Any ideas?
