We only add estimates to subtasks, and not to both subtasks and parent tasks (stories.) This helps us avoid double counting of issue totals on Jira reports and pages. Unfortunately, there isn't a good way to group changes outside of an issue type such as epics or subtasks.
The Jira issue page has an option to include subtasks when seeing the original estimate. This would be helpful on the Details View while using the Agile boards. My stories with subtask estimates are showing 0 under the Estimate field; however, they are showing xx hours under the Remaining field. So, it's misleading that the "Estimate" field only shows the estimate for the main task or story; however, the "Remaining" shows the total remaining for subtasks as well.

[JSWSERVER-9775] Jira Agile should show the subtask total with the Estimate field in the Details View
There's some update for this issue?
This is a kind of thing which is surreal do not be fixed yet. I saw requests since 2012. Please go, JIRA! Fix this issue and make a post on the blog explain that for the users.
I vote for this issue and would like to see as solution in upcoming release
I strongly vote for this issue. It is one of the main problems we face using Jira now.

Σ Original Estimate
Σ Time Spent
Σ Remaining Estimate
Because, I tried using a gadget "Filter Results" using my query (query of the current sprint commitments items), and these virtual fields compute the main+sub-tasks original estimate.
| Item | Original Estimate | Time Spent | Remaining Estimate | Σ Original Estimate | Σ Time Spent | Σ Remaining Estimate |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Item A | 4h | 1h | 3h | 4h | 1h | 3h |
| Item B | 8h | 1h | 7h | |||
| Item C | 1h | 1h | 9h | 7.5h | 5h |
Item A - don't have a sub-tasks, plain main task only and has Original Estimate value
Item B - have sub-tasks, each sub-tasks has an Original Estimate value only, no Original Estimate in main tasks
Item C - both main (1h) and sub-tasks(8h) has its equivalent Original Estimate
If we can add these virtual fields (and its function) in the "Estimation Statistic" drop-down list, I guess this will solved the issue?
PS:
I cannot attached screenshot here, I'm sorry but rest assured, values above are real and true.

Commented also in JSWSERVER-5471.

Commented also in JSWSERVER-5471 . @Lynn_jira - given how Atlassian manages their product - I'd assume that this will never be fixed.

I am a new user to Jira and find it very frustrating that I cannot have my subtasks burn down. For instance, if I have an issue worth 10 points and I have development time of 3 points and Dev QA of 1 point that are complete, I should be able to see that time burned down. The original point value should burn down as subtasks are completed. The timeline will still reflect the number of points started with and also the accurate burndown. In this instance there are 4 points yet to go but they are not related to the initial coding or qa efforts. My burndowns are not an accurate reflection of what my team is working on or has completed. It seems that this has been a problem for a long time and it would be nice if it could be resolved. Right now I have to have every step in the process designated as an issue if I am to have an accurate burndown,. Needless to say, that makes my backlog look HUGE! Not to mention unreadable.
