Total number of children (Stories) for each Epic in JIRA Structure

Hi guys,

I need a column for the total number of children (Stories) for each Epic in my JIRA structure.

First of all, my structure looks like this:

For information, I added Group by Component/s in automation, so there are groups of Component/s under each Epic and Stories are placed under groups according to its Components.

What formula can I use to calculate the total number of Stories?

What I used to use for Story # before implementing groups of Components was: 

IF issuetype = "Epic":
SUM#children{IF issuetype = "story": 1}

 

But after implementing groups of Components, the formula is not working now.

Any solutions?

Hello @Caleb Park 

Removing the #children modifier from the formula should help - then all sub-issues under each Epic will be considered. The #children modifier puts focus strictly on direct sub-issues of Epics which are folders in this case.

If you need help with the formula - please reach out to us at our support portal.
