Any way to edit original estimates directly on an issue?

Question

Hi,

My team follows a workflow where most tasks are written up by a manager and assigned to team members. The team members then go through their assigned issues and provide estimates.

The default JIRA setup seems to hide away time tracking features unless you provide an estimate when creating the task. What I would like is a field for original estimate just like Component, Priority, etc that can be directly edited on an issue without having to go to the full edit screen.

So is there a way to uncover estimation / work logging on the main issue screen before work has been logged? And if not, is there a way to set up a custom field with an action to update the work logging fields when it's updated?

Thank you for any help!

Gavin

little update if someone ends up here,

if you can't find the time tracking fields for adding them to a screen, try adding to the issue layout first, they should be added to the corresponding screen automatically after that.

This is on Jira Cloud btw

FYI this does not work on the free cloud version.

Apologies, yes, the Original Estiamte field is included under the Time Tracking set of fields.  Also in my original response I mis-typed, it should have said Screen Scheme and not Field Scheme.  You should be able to create a custom screen scheme for when you Edit issues and the fields should show up regardless if they are filled out or not.
