Option for summing tasks by Epic

[Former user]

Version 2.7.5 has recently been released to my OnDemand instance and now I find that my timesheet reports all sum-up to the Epic instead of the Story.

This issue seems to be the cause -> https://bitbucket.org/azhdanov/jiratimesheet/issue/360/sum-tasks-stories-into-epic

Can we please have an option to turn this off because grouping everything by the Epic is far too inclusive. Although I group my JIRA Agile Stories into Epic I do not want to sum the time-sheets in this way and can no longer generate my monthly reports :(

Thanks.

Hi Rains,

So, if you uncheck 'Sum SubTasks' it's not that you want either?

Thank you.

I'm afraid not.

I have Story tasks which contain Technical tasks as sub tasks. My development team log their time against the Technical Tasks.

I desire to do a monthly report on the cost of Stories by summing the time spent on the subtasks.

It worked perfectly but now because all the Stories are organised into Epics everything get summed to the Epic level which isn't very useful as its far too encompassing.

Thanks Rains

Hi Rains,

I'm thinking of adding administration option to switch this behaviour off. Please let me know if you think this is not enough, as some your jira users may want this feature and others not.

Thank you.

Thanks Andriy.

An option to turn the behaviour off would suit the needs for me and my entire organisation who use these reports in a similar manner.

Regards Rains

Version 2.7.7 with the fix is available, though you will need to ask Atlassian to update it for OnDemand.

Hello, I just wanted confirm that Atlassian have now updated my onDemand service and this issue has now been resolved to my satisfaction.
