If we can have the % completion by child issues captured in a system field, that will be helpful too. Was the "Progress" field for this purpose? But majority epics progress showing empty as listed in the query results. 

Hi all,

We hope this is addressed in the future by Atlassian.

In the meantime, our app Dashboard Hub for Jira includes an Epic Progress gadget to smoothly report and track the status of Epics.
 
Hope this helps  

I appreciate the efforts made by the team. I hope this satisfies my request, but instead of being a market-place plugin, I advise making this a feature of Jira Software.

Thank you Gayan P for your support!

Hi there,

We published this feature as an App on the marketplace - https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1220287/epictime-for-jira-sum-of-worklogs?hosting=cloud&tab=overview

Enjoy! 

Hi there,

We just published this functionality as a gadget on the marketplace:

https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.cprime.jira.report.cprime-epic-report-new/server/overview

I would like to add that it would be nice if the reports that are available in JIRA 7+ Agile boards could be added to dashboards. Saves tons of clicks, and provides value. My executive stakeholders don't want to click around through agile boards to find the one or two critical charts. They want one dashboard that has them.

What's the point in reports that can't be put on dashboards? Severely limits who ends up seeing and using the reports.

This would be a HUGE help. I can't believe someone has not found a way to do this yet.

+1 for Product Managers/Owners.

David, thanks for the feedback. I understand the request. I failed to mention that I use the Agile Wallboard Gadget in my dashboards and have updated my original comment to help clarify.

Scott Morris - you have failed to understand the scope of this feature request.

This is not a request for functionality within the Agile boards - this is a request for functionality on JIRA dashboards; a location which JIRA Agile has so far quite largely missed.
