planning - show workload as sum of toplevel workitems

Is there a way to avoid that the sum of both parent- and child-estimates are used to calculate the load? It should be or the estimates of the children, or the estimate of the parent; not both.
One answer

What work itens types you using? task? activities? stories?

Hi @gustavoreis,
We're using 'epics', 'stories' and 'tasks' for high level planning. This planning is done by a seperate team, and the 'task'-workitems are used to be able to plan resources (and see their workload).
In a second step, developers refine the task by creating child-tasks.
The estimation of these child-tasks are added to the estimation of the parent 'task' workitem resulting in wrong loads.

Bernd.
