Configure "Child Issues" field

Question

Hi,

I need to change how Child Issues is displayed because we use time estimation on our project and the child issues list displays story points instead.

At the minimum I need to change that field. It would be even better if I could completely customise each of the entries fields.

Thanks!

You are right, but it wouldn't be much effort to show the fields that are being already configured on the screen to be shown.

If the screen includes SP estimates, then the SP estimates are also shown at the child list. The same for original time estimates.

If you want to take this further, then adding the child list configuration as part of the screen configuration would just make sense.

I suspect that the lack of adaptability may be because any given issue can actually display in multiple boards, and the Estimation setting is per board. When you are viewing a given issue there is no method for Jira to determine which Board's configuration you would expect to be applied.

That's very unfortunate.

It would be indeed very nice to be able to customise the whole list view, but what I need is much simpler.

I think even without user customisation, the list view should adapt to how the board is configured. Otherwise the list view looses a lot of value.
