Time logged on sub-tasks is not rolling up to the Epic

Problem

An Epic was created, with a Story linked to that Epic, and sub-tasks created under the Story. When time is logged on the sub-tasks, it correctly rolls up and is reflected on the parent Story. However, the same time does not roll up or appear at the Epic level.

Solution

• Time logged on a sub-task is stored only on that sub-task.

• Jira does not store worklogs on Epics.

• Tempo Timesheets can roll up sub-task time to the Epic at report time, using the Epic Link.

So:

• ✅ Sub-task → Epic roll-up works in Tempo reports (Timesheet / Worklog views, when grouped or filtered by Epic)

• ❌ The Epic issue itself will never show that time

If you don’t see the roll-up in a Tempo report, check that:

• Sub-tasks are included in the report

• The Epic is linked correctly (Epic Link)

• You are grouping or filtering by Epic

That’s expected and correct behavior for Jira + Tempo Timesheets.
