Adding a time estimate field for tasks and subtasks in nextgen kanban boards

[Razvan Bileca]

Appologies if this has been answered before, I'm new to jira and still working to find my way around.

I have setup a nextgen kanban board, and would like to add a "time estimate" field to tasks and subtasks so our devs can enter their time estimate there and i can correctly set start and end dates for each task based on their estimations.

Can somebody please help me with this?

Hi @Razvan Bileca

You can add the Time Tracking, Due Date and Start Date fields to an issue type in Next-Gen - to do this you'll need to be in the Next-Gen project role "Administrators" and then:

1. Select Project Settings from the left-hand menu when looking at your project / board
2. Select Issue Types from the new left-hand menu which appears
3. Select an issue type - eg. Task
4. From the right-hand menu of previously created fields, drag in one or all of these fields
5. Press Save Changes
6. Repeat for other issue types

^ This will add the field to the issue view, which is subsequently accessible when clicking on an issue from your board.
