First, are you JIRA Admin? (To see if you can check the Story screen: https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver/defining-a-screen-938847288.html)

Send me your JIRA Version.

Could you send me print screen of what you see on the story screen (similar to the one I send).

Let’s Check in the Issues navigator to add the summarize original estimation field that I mention

1.- Go to Issues menu

2.- Search issues

3.- Add Column (image attached) -

4.- Select the field.

5.- Move the column (it will be added at the end)

And do a search of the issue, and send me the print screen. So I know what can be going on.

hello, I have tried to follow the steps above but still hours entered for sub task are not getting reflected in my view, i have time tracking enabled for my project,  can you please give me step by step way to do this activity.

InJira Server: Just have to add the timetracking field in the subtask screen. The parent issue have field ∑Original Estimate that summarize estimations from the subtasks.

You need jira administration permission or extended permissions as Project Admin. TimeTracking must be enabled in the instance.
