When managing complex projects, understanding the health of your dependency chain is critical. This video walks through how to use advanced formulas to calculate totals and completion percentages for Jira issues across your entire workflow. For full formula information, please view this documentation.

What you’ll learn:

  • How to use the downstream and upstream deep functions to trace the full length of a dependency path.
  • How to write count if formulas to dynamically total tasks based on their current status.
  • How to use the filter function to isolate specific data points, such as story points, from a set of dependent issues.
  • How to calculate and display a live completion percentage directly on the canvas to monitor project health.

⚙️ A note on the UI

This video was produced around 2024. While the Lucid interface has seen visual updates since then, the advanced formula logic for tracing dependencies and filtering Jira data remains a core feature of the platform.
