How can I present/get on JQL the aggregated Epic estimation

[Samuel Bar]

When looking at an Epic on the Epic Panel of the Scrum Board, it is possible to see the aggregated time estimation of all Stories in the Epic.
How can I get this value(field) and present it on a JQL/Chart

Thanks,

Hello @Samuel Bar 

Unfortunately that is not a natively available field in Jira. That information is being calculated on demand for the display. It is not saved in a field in the Epic.

You could create a custom field for your Epic issues, use automation to sum the estimates in the child issues and store the result in the field. Then it could be shown in filter results. However there is not a custom field type available that will automatically format a time duration into the pretty format used by estimation fields. You would have to figure out how to do that within the automation.

There also are third party apps, I believe, that might handle the sum up for you and give you the ability to see the information in filter results.

Hi @Trudy Claspill ,

Thanks for your fast response!

What about ?

and I can see that its showing the aggregated estimation from all Stories in the Epic

It it is working for you, use it!

In my instance I looked at the the output of that field for an Epic in search results and it did not match the value shown in the Epics panel. I didn't do extensive testing.
