Hello @Bijal Patel 

This question has been widely covered in few posts, the short answer is use automation to sum sub-tasks story points, the question how do you loose a child issue? Is it moved, edited or?

Hi @Bijal Patel 

For a question like this, please post an image of your complete automation rule, images of any relevant actions / conditions / branches, an image of the audit log details showing the rule execution, and explain what is not working as expected. Those will provide context for the community to offer ideas. Thanks!

Kind regards,
