Use case

The calculated fields provided by JWT are an excellent tool to work with real-time issue data. Due to Jira's architecture there is a little flaw when it comes to working with data from other issues.

Taken the Total of all story points in an epic use case as an example, the data shown in the issue view of the epic is always accurate. However, when changing the story points in a story in that epic, the epic's index is not updated automatically and therefore JQL searches might return wrong or misleading results until the epic is updated and thereby reindexed again.

In this use case we will perform a reindex on the epic of a story as soon as the story points are updated.
