The "default" behaviour is to store summary of all the child property
value in each parent.
For example, starting from
#+COLUMNS: %ITEM%EFFORT{:}
* 1
:PROPERTIES:
:EFFORT: 0:00
:END:
** 1.1
:PROPERTIES:
:EFFORT: 0:20
:END:
** 1.2
:PROPERTIES:
:EFFORT: 0:20
:END:
after generating column view, you will get
* 1
:PROPERTIES:
:EFFORT: 0:40
:END:
...
This is, however, not possible for CLOCKSUM because clocksum is not an
actual property, but a "special" one - it is derived from logbook data.
That's why its behavior is different.
In fact, CLOCKSUM property does not support custom summaries.

It is currently hard-coded. (Although, it is not too hard add some kind
of switch).
