JIRA does not have "Story Points" fields

christopher_griggs

Let me make this clear, I am not looking to put "Story Points" on a form, or how include it as part of a custom field configuration. I want to do so, but the option "Story Points" is not an available field. When I look at the list of available fields to create / update a field  configuration - there is no "Story Points" field. 

 

The fields available include: Acceptance Criteria, Actual Completion Date, Additional Comments, Approvals, Assignee, ... etc. There is no "Story Points" field option. 

Note, I am looking at a field configuration, there is a list of options, and the "Story Points" field does not exist. The field is not an available option. I am not trying to figure out how to add the field to a form, the field does not exist. I don't know why...

At a guess, you haven't added a Story Points field.

It's up to the admins to create new fields, although some add-ons and applications also do it.  If, for example, Jira Software cannot find a Story Points field (of the right type) when it is first installed, it will add one for you.  It'll add a handful of Epic related fields too.

Go to Admin -> Issues -> Custom Fields and add Story Points as a numeric field (or install Software)
