Hi,
In the backlog on the right side of the sprint, the story points are calculated, as shown in the screenshot.
But during the previous sprint it showed "number of issues" instead. I look ed for any documentation if it had been changed for some reason or if it was a setting I needed to fix. 
Another forum question seemed to have a similar issue and was told to change to corporate managed project and change settings to story points. 
But today when we started a new sprint it seams to be working correctly and I haven't made any changes. 
Anyone know what the reason for this might be?

 Hi @Marcus Ingvarsson welcome to the Atlassian Community

Please set your Estimation Statistic to 'Story Points' in the Board Configuration/Settings:

Hmm, don't think I have access to it. Is this in Company Managed project? Because my menu looks like this. And I don't have the Estimation as option.  image.png

Thanks for the clarification. For team-managed projects, enable estimation:

  1. If you’re not already there, navigate to your team-managed software project.

  2. Go to Project Settings Features.

  3. Enable the Estimation feature.

  4. Once Estimation is enabled, you can select whether to use Story points or Time.
