Hello,

our team is using SCRUM board and story point estimates to evaluate how fast we are going, and how much work we can do in a sprint. 
Unfortunatelly, only estimates we get automated from Jira are "stories", that have their story points. But one story can hold a few tasks, and we would love to evaluate those tasks as well as the whole story, to see the progress moving along.
Issue we have, that tasks dont have their story points totaled and added to sum. Anyone experianced same issue? 

Thank you for all your help!

Hi @Denas Kinderis ,

Are the "Tasks" for your stories the issue type "Sub-Task" or are they just the issue type "Task?"

If they are sub tasks then you may want to review this post It has a lot of good information.

If they are not sub-tasks then the points will not roll up to the story; the issue types Story and Task are on the same hierarchical level.
