Estimate field defaultable to 'Calculated From Features'

We want all of our features' estimates to roll up to their epics.  As it is now, when we create new epics, we need to go and set that and it gets missed a lot.

    Configure the workspace default so that newly created epics always calculate their estimate from features

    • Navigate to Settings > Workspace > Capacity planning

    • In the "Estimate association" section, update the Epics section to "Associate with features"

      Just bumping this up. Right now we having to manually set the estimate field for over 1,000! Epics to be calculated from features. Naturally, across so many records and so many product managers, this is getting missed.

      This would be extremely helpful on the Epic level and even a step further to allow the option to roll up Estimates to the Initiative level if that is applicable to your business.

      Agreed. I really need this for automated reporting and it seems like a no-brainer to add. Really hope that this idea becomes a reality soon.

      Also want the same.

      I'm baffled it's already the default behavior.

      What is the thinking in having them not linked / rolling up ?

      I completely agree.  This would be a huge improvement and would reduce manual efforts.

      It's pretty ridiculous that this isn't the standard. It just needs a default checkbox so we don't have to do it on each one.

      We want the same, plus the ability for the system to check 'Use Features estimates' by default on Master Features (so users don't have to remember to do this every time).
