Custom field and Epic details

Hi,
I have created a custom field “Initiative” and exported it as Dimension in EazyBi. This is purely a text field in which I will be inputting the Initiative name and then I can group all the Epics with the same initiative together.

While I was able to export the custom field, Im unable to show the values of how many story points created, due, resolved as its coming as blank. Basically this is my view. Against the initiative name I will have the count of epics tagged, completed and in progress ones, and the story points of the underlying tickets in epics.

Hi @anoopkrkumar,

To show story points and other metrics grouped by your Initiative custom field, you need to enable value inheritance from Epics to their child issues.
Go to Import options, tab Custom fields, and add this parameter in the custom field’s “Feature” advanced settings:

update_from_issue_key = "epic_key"

This will pass down the Initiative values from Epics to all child issues, allowing proper aggregation of story points and other metrics by Initiative.

Here is documentation on how to change custom field import options: Custom field import options.

Best,
