Sum Story Points from story to link parent issue in Jira Automation Data Center

[Sunil kumar]

Please find the below mentioned hierarchy :

Parent - Initiative

       Link as child for Initiative  -  Epics

                                                    Epic link -   Features

                                            Link as child for Features  -    Stories

We have N no’s of stories if we add story points then the story points has to sum up to features from features to Epic and from Epic to Initiative.

Need you support to resolve this.

Hi @Sunil kumar,

If you are on Jira Software Data Center, you have Advanced Roadmaps. From the hierarchy you describe in your question, it looks as if you are aware of that and using it.

If you create an advanced roadmaps plan and display the story points custom field, roll-up of your (remaining) story points is visible by enabling the roll-up values option. See this support article for more information.

Agreed, this roll-up is not persisted on your issues. So if that is something you want, you can set up a rule similar to the one described in this article from the automation template library. The example demonstrates how to sync story points from sub-tasks to stories; you'll have to make sure that you provide rules to sync from child to parent at each level of your hierarchy.

Hope this helps!

Hi @Sunil kumar

Refer to this  tutorial: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Automation-discussions/Jira-Automation-Complete-Video-Guides-on-how-to-Sum-Up-Story/td-p/1741948

For features and initiatives you will have to find the correct relationships to branch out.

Hi @Sunil kumar

You are correct.  Here is the feature so that we can vote on it: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JIRAAUTOSERVER-53?error=login_required&error_description=Login+required&state=4ccc74d1-61bf-4fa2-9cf6-6c228dfce7ae

Hi @Sunil kumar 

As you and @Fabian Lim note, Jira Data Center's version of automation rules does not have the lookup issues action.  Instead you have the bulk processing feature, which may be used with a scheduled trigger or branch using JQL:

Kind regards,
