You should add the story points field to the screens for the Task issue type.  You can find more info here how to add a custom field to a screen:  https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver/adding-a-custom-field-938847222.html

If you are trying to add it to issues not normally associated with a a software project you may have to do the following:

  1. Select the Jira icon > Jira settings > Issues.
  2. Under FIELDS, select Custom Fields.
  3. Find the Story Points Field and note the Issue type(s) that are associated with it.
  4. To allow additional issue types to use Story Points open the three dot menu and select "Configure".
  5. Under the heading "Default Configuration Scheme for Story Points" select "Edit Configuration".
  6. Finally, find the heading "Choose applicable issue types" and select the Issue type is selected (along with Stories and Epics).
