How to countdown story points on Epics in the child item list?

Adam Bang

On Epics and Initiatives child work items (in a company managed project) are shown with a progress bar of how many of these work items are TO DO, In Progress, and DONE. Instead of counting the number of work items, how to set it to count Story points?

I found this article, but cannot find the setting to change it.

Hi @Adam Bang,

If you can't solve this with the native Jira functionality (personally, I don't know how this could be done), another possibility would be to look for a plugin on the Atlassian Marketplace capable of providing this information.

If you're considering using an app, our Great Gadgets app offers a Pivot Table & Pivot Chart gadget that can display the progress of epics and initiatives based on the sum of story points in their Stories, Tasks, and even sub-tasks.

With this gadget you can display the progress by count, sum of story points, or percentage of completion (by count or sum of story points) in form of tables, heatmap tables or charts of various types. See  how to do this in this article: https://community.atlassian.com/forums/App-Central-articles/How-to-display-the-progress-of-Epics-or-Initiatives-in-Jira-or/ba-p/2858840

Hi Adam, thanks for your reply, but it was working all the while till yesterday where we were able to see the child items as a list, it suddenly changed yesterday, so wondering if JIRA team has done any update or roll out which had changed it, if yes need to know how it can be rectified.

Sometimes we need refresh the work item page to have the list show.
