Sum Story points in linked Epic

📚

This template displays the sum of the selected story point field from all work items within the epic linked to the current work item.

This includes the item itself, except if it is an epic. Then, all of its child items will be considered for the calculation instead.

Sub-tasks are not considered for the calculation.

If no such items are found, “None” will be displayed.

For the parameter Story points, select the field that represents story points in your instance.
