Can the original estimation(time) of subtasks be automatically summed and reflected in the parent User Story, Task, or Bug? Specifically for the subtasks of a user story.
Hi @Viren Desai ,
If you are open to using a third-party Atlassian Marketplace app, I would recommend WorklogPro, which is a time tracking application. In addition to features like timesheets, reports, and viewing worklogs in a custom way, it also has a 'Total Original Estimate' field feature. With this field, you can view the total of original estimate for all the issues recursively starting form a parent issue in your issue hierarchy.

Hi @Viren Desai
Welcome to the community !!
If you would be interested in a mktplace add-on to sum up time tracking fields or any custom number field, try out
The app allows you to create a hierarchy based on standard jira structure (Epic -> Story/Task -> Subtask) or even with your issue links. You can view %complete progress at each parent level. It roll ups the time tracking fields, story point or numeric fields at each parent level.

Hi @Viren Desai ,
by default a parent issue will automatically retrieve all the estimation from subtasks.

Thanks for the quick response, but I'm looking for something that automatically sums up the original estimated time of subtasks, for time tracking I already enabled this setting.

There are fields that show summed up tasks from subtasks to Standard issue type.
You can refer to the field either by using aggregatetimeoriginalestimate or Σ Original Estimate.

Hii @Vishal Biyani
Thanks for the quick response, I'm concerned about how can we add that field to the standard issue type which automatically sums up all subtask original estimations.

Hi @Viren Desai
welcome to the community!
I agree that Σ Original Estimate should give you the value that you are looking for. You should be able to just add the field to your parent issues - I don't think that there should be any side effects.
For future reference, if you want more control over how data should be summed up, there's a number of apps available on the Atlassian Marketplace that can help with this. I'll add more information below.
Hope this helps,
Best,
Hannes

... and just to expand on my previous point: If you're open to solutions from the Atlassian Marketplace, you may want to have a look at the app that my team and I are working on: JXL for Jira.
JXL is a full-fledged spreadsheet/table view for your issues that allows viewing, inline-editing, sorting, and filtering by all your issue fields, much like you’d do in e.g. Excel or Google Sheets. It also comes with a number of advanced features, including support for (configurable) issue hierarchies, issue grouping by any issue field(s), sum-ups, or conditional formatting.
With these, you can build a view like e.g. this in just a couple of clicks:
As you can see, the summed-up original estimates update live as you enter data.
This is really just one of a virtually endless number of possible views and reports; you can also view and group by any other issue fields, configure different sum-up styles, etc. etc.
Any questions just let me know!
