Sub-task estimates not rolling up to the parent issue
Time estimates and logged work on sub-tasks don't sum up to the parent, so parent totals and reports are wrong.
The problem
A parent issue does not aggregate the original estimate, remaining estimate or logged work of its sub-tasks. The parent keeps showing its own value — often zero — even when every sub-task is fully estimated.
Who runs into this
Scrum and Kanban teams that break work into sub-tasks, and anyone whose sprint and time-tracking reports look empty at the parent level.
How Patcher fixes it
Patcher rolls sub-task estimates and worklogs up to the parent automatically, so your burndown, velocity and workload reports finally add up — nothing to configure per issue.

We wrote a workaround script, but it breaks on every Jira update. Not sustainable.

570This should be classified as a bug, not a “suggestion”. It’s clearly broken behaviour.
