What Jira does by itself, the Automation rule that fills the gap and where it stops, then what Sumline does.

• Sum story points from subtasks to epics in Jira (team-managed too)

  Jira does not add story points up to the epic. The Automation rule that does, for company-managed and team-managed spaces, where it goes wrong, and what Sumline does instead.

• Roll up logged time to the epic in Jira

  Why time logged on subtasks never reaches the epic in Jira Cloud, the two Automation rules that carry it there, their limits, and what Sumline does instead.

• Jira epic % complete by points and by issue count

  Where Jira shows an epic’s progress by itself, the Automation rule that writes % complete by count and by story points into a field, and what Sumline shows instead.

• Epic Sum Up Free alternatives

  Epic Sum Up Free becomes the paid ESU Lite on 5 October 2026. What it did, what changes, and the alternatives: paying, Jira’s own features, an Automation rule, other apps and Sumline.
