Where is the Original Estimate column in Jira Portfolio 3?

Poh Nean Tai

Hi we're using the new scheduling interface in JIRA portfolio 3 but we notice that the Original Estimate column is missing.

When creating issues via portfolio, the Original Estimate column is always not set.

And when work is logged to an issue, the Estimated (h) column goes down.

How come there is no Original Estimate column in Jira Portfolio 3?

Is this supposed to be a feature or bug?

Hello Poh,

Currently the "Original Estimate" field is not part of the new Experience feature set, if the estimate is critical to your process switch back to the classic view and recalculate the plan to get the field back.

Also, we have the following feature request to add this back to the New experiance, please make sure to add your vote to help us track interest and if you have any additional feedback on the feature please make sure to add a comment as well noting the impact for your use case:

• https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JPOSERVER-2546

There is also a bit more context on this in the third page of comments discussing the new experience in the comment from Sam Roberts as of "Apr 17, 2019" discussing both themes and the estimates in this case specifically the original story points but this applies to Original Estimate as well:

Noting from the comment:

1. One of the problem with themes in Portfolio 2 is that they only existed inside Portfolio, and weren't in Jira. This meant themes were hard to access via gadgets, dashboards, and the API. With Portfolio 3, we've added better support for custom fields, (including colouring, grouping by them) as a replacement. We don't yet have support for the themes report (pie graph). In the meantime you can always continue to use the old UI with themes even with a 3.x Portfolio version.
2. Original story points - We don't have this added in yet, but I would say a similar answer to above.

Regards,
Earl
