Add support to split aggregation of hours to issue

[Former user]

Currently all hours are aggregated into parent issue irrespective the grouping fields, if sum subtasks option is selected. Add select box “Aggregate by fields” on report setting, that will split hours aggregate to parent issues by the selected fields. The selected fields in “Aggregated by fields” should also be displayed on report, in order to use them for further processing using Excel export. The feature is very useful when it is required to get total hours for issues by grouping them also by Label, Component, and/or some custom fields (e.g. Billing Account).

Hi Aleksey,

Do you mean that grouping by field should not take 'Sum subtasks' into account? That would result in inconsistent view. Grouped part will not correspond to detailed part.

Thank you.

I am talking about a different grouping behavior. I have custom field - Billing account, which is available for parent issues, and subtasks. Parent issue is billed to one billing account, while particular subtasks (aka defects) can be billed to another billing account. When I am doing report, I am not interested only in what part of a story is billed to one account, and what part is billed to the other billing account. If I use current grouping field, it will aggregate all the subtasks into parent issue respective of the billing account of a subtasks.

Hi Aleksey,

And what if you don't set 'Sum subtasks'?

If I do not sum subtasks, I will not be able to get the total for particular story.

That's what I meant in my previous comment. I can't make Grouped part not to use Sum Subtasks and main part use. Sum subtasks takes parent issue and considers it as been worked on further on. It's not that it's just displayed in second part. Overall report is built as if work happened to parent issue. Consider it as design limitation, but it can NOT be fixed. Grouped part is built using 'Sum subtasks' flag if it's on.

Hope it clarifies.

Thank you.
