MAYBE WE SHOULD ALSO CREATE AN EXAMPLE WITH A CALCULATED NUMBER FIELD AND LINK THEM

When a custom "Number field" is changed in a sub-task, a corresponding field in the parent issue, representing the sum of those field values, will be automatically updated.

The rule executes every time the field is being updated on a sub-task.

Field Changed Event

Create a new rule and name it appropriately.

Providing a description will help you to identify what the rule does but this step is optional.

 Update Field

Field*

Parser Expression*

Set the mode to Advanced and enter the following Parser Expression

sum(fieldValue({issue.cf11502}, subtasks())) #Replace field code with the field code of your custom field. Use the field dropdown to automatically insert the field code

cf11502 is the field code for the custom number field to be summed up. The field code will differ in your instance.

Enable the rule by clicking on the Enable button →
