Removing story point estimate from sub-task card in active sprint

Pedram Mireftekhari_us7twx

I want to remove the story point estimate from the subtask card in an active sprint. I already have removed it from my fields config by associating sub-task to a field config, but still, on the Active Sprints board, it is visible. How can it be removed?

It is not visible on the sub-task issue view screen. Only on task level.

Hello @Pedram Mireftekhari

Thank you for reaching out.

Per your description, I understand you are not planning to add any Story point estimation to the Sub-tasks in your board, however, the "-" keep appearing in the board cards. Can you please confirm if you are using a Next-gen or a classic project?

If you are using a Classic project, I believe the symbol you are pointing in your screenshots is not related to Story points, but to the remaining estimate (Time tracking) of your sub-tasks since Story points context are by default applicable only to Stories and Epics.

That being, please try the steps below to confirm this information:

1 - Navigate to your board > Click in the three dots icon at the top-right corner > Board settings

2 - Click in the tab Estimation > Set your estimation to be Story points, flagging the option "None" under time tracking:

If the instructions above didn't make that symbol disappear, check the following:

- under Jira settings > Issues > Custom fields > Find Story Points > Click "Context and default value"

- Check if the Story point context is applied to the sub-task issue type, removing it in case that's true. P.S: This might affect other projects too, so if you are planning to use Story points for sub-tasks in other projects or have multiple teams using it, make sure to configure a specific context for your project.

Let us know if you have any questions or if you are using a Next-gen board.
