Parent task shows only its estimation time not include the sub task time by default

[charan kumar]

Hi Team,

I have one parent issue and another one is sub task in the parent task.I have given the estimation time for parent task is 3 days and sub task is 2 days. Then the total time is shown in parent task is 5 days . So here i do not want to sub task issue time in parent issue. there is one check box include sub task. when i click on the un check then  only it shows parent issue time

Hi @charan kumar , is there a question here? It seems more like a statement. What you have conveyed is how it works. Generally I either will estimate time in either the story or the sub-tasks but not both.

Hi Jack,

Thanks for your response.

Here you can see the problem

From above snapshot the time shows= parent task+subtask

every time i need to unchecked the check box(Include sub task) then only it shows parent issue time  

So. I need only parent issue time when issue created and i do not want to uncheck   every time for parent issue time

ok so your issue is that the "Include sub-tasks" is 'on' by default and you wish to change it to off? I'm not sure if that can be done. TBH, i haven't even observed this but haven't been looking for it either. Maybe @Tarun Sapra has some thoughts.

Hi Tarun,

You can answer for above description.

Just to add to the answer from @Jack Brickey , the general practice among lot of teams is to estimate story in story points and log work against the sub-tasks being worked upon which can then be rolled up to the story level.
