inAdd-on Configuration
. select Epic issues in Sum Subtasks report (or dashboard item)Info Add-on configuration is accessible from the report by Administrators only. See Configure link in header part of the report page.
Then, with
Sum Sub-Tasks
gadget report option enabled, it will aggregate hours for Epics.
However, if you'll want to Sum Sub-Tasks not to Epic, but to parent issue only, you will need to adjust add-on configuration each time. Grouping by: Parent in case of Parent Issue Field configured works quite the same, i.e. sums hours into issue via Epic Link too.Info Note, this behaviour is quite the same as it used to be different than in Timesheet Reports and Gadgets add-on for Jira Server using Group by: Epic Link.
