The progress is calculated based on the issue’s Resolution field and the progress of sub-issues.

Calculating Progress for Issue Without Sub-Issues

If the issue does not have sub-issues:

If the issue's Resolution field is not empty, the progress is 100%.
Otherwise, the progress is 0%.

Calculating Progress for Issue with Sub-Issues

If the issue does have sub-issues:

If the issue's Resolution field is not empty, the progress is 100% - regardless of the sub-issues progress.
Otherwise, sub-issues progress is aggregated sum with specified weights.

Example: Resolution Only with Story Points

Individual progress is 0% or 100% based on Resolution field; total progress is calculated as weighted average, with weights contained in a Story Points field.

Sample Structure

Issue	Explanation	Progress
Sub-sub-issue 1.2	This issue is resolved (indicated by the green mark) - so it is complete	100%
Sub-issue 1	It has two sub-issues with 0% and 100% progress, and story points are 2 and 3 respectively. So the total progress is weighted average value of (0 x 2 + 100 x 3) / (2 + 3)	60%
Top issue	It has two sub-issues: sub-issue 1 is 60% done and sub-issue 2 is 0% done, and their cumulative story points are (2 + 3) and 1 respectively. So progress is (60 x 5 + 0 x 1) / (5 + 1)	50%
