How do I edit a custom field to represent a duration of time?

Nicole Williams_uc4uh4

I've created a field called "Estimated Completion Time" that I need to represent a duration (hours) of time that we believe it should take to wrap up a task/project. I cannot figure how to edit the value to be a duration of time. Also, how do I configure this field to be available on all issue screens?

Hi Nicole,

You can use the Numeric Custom Field. But perhaps you have other requirements. Can you please give more details?

"how do I configure this field to be available on all issue screens" => I will assume that you want to display the field in the "Creation" & "Modification" & "View" of the issue. 

So basically you have to : 

1. Create(or Use a default) Screen, in which you have to add your custom field
2. Create (or Use a default) Screen Scheme of your screen (see 1.)
3. Create (or Use a default) Issue type Screen Scheme that you will use in your project
4. Make sure that the created custom field in no hidden in the field configuration your project uses

Here is a link to the official documentation.
