How to sum up story points from sub-tasks to parent issue using Jira automation

Story points are integral for many agile teams. Automation is a great way to reduce the manual work of keeping story points up to date.

In this template, we show you how to sum up the story points of all sub-tasks then update the parent issue with this value. We will ensure the story points of the parent and sub-task always remain in sync.

Why the hell is this subtask summing not already implemented as an "out of the box" standard feature into JIRA NATIVELY?

Can I do the same sum-up using original estimates instead of story points?

Looking for a rule that would update the epic story points with the sum of all its child stories when any update is made to the epic. Any suggestions?

is there a way to make the same thing but for the Original Estimate field? I wasnt able to find it among the fields in the trigger.

I just can't understand why this isn't a built in feature in the first place.

Any advice how to assign a value to the "Team" property on an issue, the Team property in this case being the one used by Plans? The field is not available in the drop down menu of available fields.

Thank you, this is super helpful. You rock!

By following similar rules, can we sum story points from tasks to the epic (parent)? Can we also make story points mandatory before it moves from one workflow scheme to another? E.g. Given a task is 'in progress', when you attempt to move the task to 'in test', then Jira prompts you to add story points. Thanks

Well, you didn't actually show if it works or not. And it doesn't.
