Why isn't time logged for tasks aggregated to the Epic as subtasks are with tasks?

[Dennis Lindqvist]

When looking at time spent on an issue, I can only see the aggregated time for subtasks in tasks and not any aggregated time for tasks in Epics.

Why is that?

That seem to be a very natural feature to implement in Jira Software.

Adding Tempo will allow me to see the time spent by each person of a task, but there is still no aggration of work logged in the Epics...

Hi @Dennis Lindqvist 

We have built an app which can help meet your use case. If you are fine to try out take a look at 

Agile Tools

The add-on provides the hierarchy view of your Epics and you can also track the progress of the same based on the roll up of your child issues.

Do try it out.

I shouldn't need an app for a feature that should be available out-of-the-box.

(Especially not an App that involves time-tracking, agile work is about work management, not time management).

That seems to be the same issue I'm having. But it doesn't have an accepted answer. So...
