Show estimates in backlog

Question

I am trying to get our estimates shown in the backlog.

I have followed this https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirasoftwarecloud/configuring-estimation-and-tracking-764478030.html but I still can't get it to work.

I have created a test task, and get the "Time estimate" field here, but it is not available when creating a new task - only the estimate field (which is not shown i backlog)

How do I get "time estimate" to be a part of the create task and edit task view?

Glad I could help :)

@Ravi Varma is also correct, I would verify your Estimation configuration located within the Board Settings.

Hi @Maja Aagaard,

You should have by now enabled your board configurations to use appropriate option in Estimate tab

Please note that the create issue screen has Original Estimate field only.

If you need further inputs on this then please provide

* the screenshots of the board's estimate configurations
* the view issue screenshot
* the backlog screenshot where the current issue is selected

Regards,

Ravi Varma
