Hi, I'm looking to set up a Jira board that uses "Remaining Estimate and Time Spent" as the estimation metric for planning. I'm following this article: https://support.atlassian.com/jira/kb/how-to-view-remaining-time-estimate-on-issues-from-backlog/

However, I don't see the "Remaining Estimate and Time Spent" radio button as described in this article and other support questions. Screenshot of my settings options below.

I've already confirmed the following:

  1. This is a company managed Space
  2. This is a scrum board
  3. Global time tracking is enabled
  4. Time Tracking field is available on all screens

So, what I need help with, why isn't "Remaining Estimate and Time Spent" available in my board settings under Estimation?Screenshot 2025-11-12 150447.png

I have the exact same issue.

And this is causing a super-weird behaviour. In existing spaces the burdown charts works

In newly created one the time spent shown is always zero!

Something changed? Can someone help here please?

Any chance this was removed recently? I've seen screenshots and articles where this setting should be available. It's just not available in our Jira Cloud instance.

 I don't think "Remaining Estimate" and "Time Spent" can be seen in that setting. You will only see those fields in the right panel of each ticket you are viewing.
