Every work item in Jira has a "original estimate" which is basically the time that one needs to spend on a work item, This is work hand in hand with logged time and Remaining estimate = Original estimate - time logged. However I have noticed that when I change Original estimate the remaining estimate is still calculated against the the first value or original estimate. Is this expected ? Is this a Jira configuration ? Scope change is pretty common so changing estimate is common as well but the remaining estimate does not seem to be taking this into account ? When logging time it always takes the first value that was ever populated. Is that expected ?
I read somwehere that in cases like this when logging time the developer is expected to the make the change, which does not make sense to me, the tool should work for us not the other way around right ?
Is this the default behavior or a configuration thing please advice
