Issue layout

I have added a number of fields as context fields, 'Original estimate' & 'Time tracking' yet they are not appearing on any issue so we cannot add time estimates to any of our issues whether they are in the backlog or SFD.

Please can someone help out here? Anyone experienced the same issue?

You need to add fields to the screen so you can see it. If you want to see an original estimate on the Edit screen, click on the edit button and by using Where is my field search for the TimeTracking field.

When I go into the old view (I have to do this to be able to see the 'admin' tab as per your second screenshot...I want to type in 'original estimate' or time estimate and neither of these fields even exist according to Jira?

How am I supposed to add time estimates and track progress if I can't add it in the first place? So confusing....please help!?!?!

Andy Allison

I have this field as an option and have included it by editing in the 'issue layout' tab.

but it still isn't showing on any of the issues on our board.

Ansar Rezaei

time tracking is a built-in Jira filed and when you add it to your screen you have both Original estimate and remaining estimate field.

The previous comment about seeing and editing the field on the issue page. If you want to see a field in card view on boards you should add them from board configuration as follow:

Click the Jira icon (, , , or ) > Projects > then select the relevant project.
Go to your Scrum backlog, Active sprints, Kanban backlog (if enabled), or Kanban board.
Go to ••• > Board settings and click Card layout.
Add or delete fields as desired.

You could find more detail here.

Hi Andy - have you checked the Permission Scheme to see who has the ability to Log Work?

Andy Allison

Yes I have permission, I am full admin so have permission to do anything in our Jira instance. This is very frustrating I have to say!!

John Funk

Just remember that having full admin permissions in Jira does not grant you full access on all projects - it depends on what the Permission Scheme actually says. You have actually looked at the scheme, but I wasn't sure based on how your comment was phrased.

Have you tried both the Old Jira View and the New Jira View? And still no fields?
