Setting up SCRUM Board

Calum Ewing

Hi there,

I'm having a couple of issues in setting things up.

1. When a new Sub-Task is created under a Story, the 'Time Spent' field is mandatory. How do I set this as non-mandatory? It's a new sub-task so no time has been spent on it. I've tried changing in the field configuration but no luck.

2. I want to add the 'Original Estimate' field to the Sub-Task form. I cannot find this field on the Issue Layout or Configure Screen pages. How do I do this?

3. When I change the layout of my issue screen, it's not reflected in real time. (Screenshots below)

Any ideas?

4. Do all issue types have to have the same fields and layout? If not, how can I change them?

Thanks in advance
Calum

Hello Calum,

Welcome to Atlassian community!

Answering your questions:

1 - The name of the field used to fill the time spent is called Log Work and there are two ways to make it required:

- Setting it at the project settings > Fields > find the field and set it as optional

- Using a validator in the create transition, in Project settings > Workflows > Edit > Click in the create transition (Diagram mode) > Validators

Please, check if the Log work field is set as required in one of the settings above

2 - The Original Estimate is one of the three fields named as Time tracking field in the project screens.

Please, check if the Time tracking field is properly added in the project settings > Screens and in the Layout menu

3 - Check if all the related fields of the layout are flagged in the Configure fields option displayed in the first screenshot you sent

4 - No, you can configure different screen schemes for each issue type. Please, check the documentation below to know how you can configure it:
