Hi Bhushan,

Take a look at this article and see if it helps you. You can roll those amounts up to a parent work item such as an Epic.

Hello @Bhushan Naga _ CONT-Type1-THUNDERSOFT INDIA PRIVATE LIMITED _ 

I often used ScriptRunner on Data Center with math expressions. However, in ScriptRunner Cloud, I don't see that option available in Scriptrunner Enhanced Search.
So I believe it's not possible to calculate the sum directly via JQL, since math expressions aren't supported on cloud 
An alternative might be to export via Excel for Jira Cloud, with colum, 'Story Points' column and perform the calculation in Excel.

Hope this can help :)

Hi, @Bhushan Naga _ CONT-Type1-THUNDERSOFT INDIA PRIVATE LIMITED _ 

JQL is designed to work with issues and returns a list of issues as results. Field values are used only to filter and narrow down the query — to make it more specific.

This means that JQL won't return just a number of Story Points directly. However, you can create a query to find all issues in a project that have Story Points assigned, and then manually or via a gadget/dashboard, sum them up. Example of JQL:

project = TEST AND "Story Points" IS NOT EMPTY
