how to display in an epic the time spent in the child issues

[Mguiss, Anis (AllianzGI)]

Hi all,

For my new project I want to calculate and display in the epic the total time spent in child issues (stories) and the total time spent in story is the total time spent in child issues (tasks) and the total time spent in tasks in the total time spent in child issues (subtasks).

I can use automation rules although I prefer to do this without automation.

I cannot use market place apps.

Thanks for your help.

Hello @Mguiss, Anis (AllianzGI) 

You will have to use either Automation or third party apps. Natively Jira is capable of rolling up time spent only from subtasks to their parent issue.

Also, I see that you indicated you are using the Premium plan and are showing a non-standard issue hierarchy. Did you modify the Issue Hierarchy so that the Story issue type is at a higher level than the Task issue type, and Epic is at a higher level than Story?

Please show us the information you see when you access this page on your instance:

https://<yourBaseURL>/jira/settings/issues/issue-hierarchy

If you have not changed the default issue hierarchy, then you cannot have the 4 level hierarchy you showed in your original post. The default hierarchy for Jira is only 3 levels

Epic (level 1)
|-- standard issue types (i.e. Bug, Task, Story) (level 0)
    |-- subtask issue types (level -1)

Issue types in the same level cannot have a parent/child relationship. They are "siblings".

Jira will not natively recognize a parent/child relationship between a Story and a Task.

If you think you have created a parent/child relationship between Story and Task, please show us the details of a Story that has child Task type issues.

Can you tell me what is the automation rule for this request please?

I can't properly suggest an Automation Rule that will work without a clear understanding of your issue type hierarchy.

If you have a relationship between Story and Task, but you did not change the Issue Type Hierarchy, I need to see an example of that relationship. Can you show a Story issue that has "child" Task issues so I can see how that is represented?

Hi @Trudy Claspill 

I did not change the Hierarchy, I think this is the standard one: Epic, story, task.

Can you tell me what is the automation rule for this request please?

Thanks
