how to show Estimate : Spent : Remaining time in Kanban Card

Question

I have this scenario:
- Jira cloud

- Timesheets time for Jira cloud

- a classic Jira cloud project- a board where I project the stories related to the current sprint

- automation for Jira how to build some rules for this Jira project...

my need would be to replicate a function of another program called Yodix, which allows to visualize in one row in the kanban card (see this screenshoot)

I'd like to do the same thing on Jira cloud maybe using automation for Jira to build the text string to insert in a custom field that I would associate to the kanban card to avoid using three fields as I'm doing now (see other image)

I first of all thank you for your answer, @Jack Brickey I follow you into the community, and I see you trying to help everyone. In fact I'm saying just that, maybe I don't know how to write well in English so I didn't make it easy to understand. I'll try to explain it again. I'm using Jira cloud. In Jira cloud, unlike Jira server, you only have the "estimated" field directly compilable, when you work with the Time Tracking field. As you can see from this image.

so I'd like to read the value of what is in field A and what is in field B and concatenate them as you're suggesting, in a new custom field, say TSW ESR.

The use of automation for Jira for cloud is due to the fact that in the cloud I'm not using runner scripts and then because at the Time Tracking "update" event I can manage the TSW ESR custom field update.

My difficulties are in order of importance: THAT Atlassian has practically resetted a direct channel to ask to support of automation for Jira.

Then the other issue is that always on Jira cloud, unlike Jira server -- it is strange -- , I can't read the content of these fields A and B of Time Tracking, so I can't do the concatenation.

for the moment I used the only possibility I have on kanban and that is to show the three fields as you see in the picture below and it surprises me because if you want to do this on kanban the three fields are "obvious", so why can't you call them from automation for Jira I'm wondering ?

this is not an elegant solution, and then I have to waste the possibility to insert other custom fields in the Kanban tab (the limit is for three custom fields).

Finally, the fact that I would like to read field A and field B of the Time Tracking field is also due to the possibility of another customization that I would like to do, on Jira cloud, to be able to scale the eight hours per day of a person according to the time that is marked for each activity represented on the kanban, but this is another issue that has nothing to do with this request for help that you are reading. Thanks again for your attention, I'll try to do some more "alternative".

There isn’t a way to reformat the display on cards. Even with the built in Automation I don’t see how that could work. Basically you need something that could read these three fields and concatenate them with a colon separator and shove it into a custom text field that could be added to the card. Maybe some scripting addon might allow you form the field (Scriptrunner?). The further challenge is keeping it up-to-date every time one of the fields changes.
