API not returning all fields

Question

Hey,

I have a strange issue, I am using the V2 API on prem and I am trying to get the estimate field returned for a list of tickets which I have. When  I do a GET on:

api/2/issue/{Issue_ID}

some of the tickets have the 'timetracking' object which contains the Estimate field and some do not.

All these tickets are specified in the same Jira Project and when I look at these in the browser, I can see they all have an Estimate value.

Does any one know what I'm doing wrong here and why I am unable to only get some estimates and not all?

Hey @Anandhi Arumugam _Cprime_ - thanks for your reply. I agree that it should be in the JSON returned, but its not. For the issues where it doens't appear I get fields >

timetracking and then an empty object. I don't want to share the entire response due to confidential data. When looking at the worklog item I see the below for both issues that return their estimate and those that don't - any idea?"worklog": {"startAt": 0,"maxResults": 20,"total": 0,"worklogs": []},
