Can I modify the Bug Record to include estimate field

Paul Smith_1j0ngk

My team would like to estimate how much time each bug will take to finish, but there is no estimation field in the standard Bug template.

Is there a way to include the estimation field (the same one that is available in the Story record) in the Bug record?

Hello Paul,

Welcome to Atlassian community.

Are you using a next-gen project or a classic project?

To properly estimate your bugs on next-gen projects, you will need to navigate to your project settings > Issue-types > bug and add the Story points estimate field, since time tracking is not available for next-gen projects yet.

To properly estimate your bugs on Classic projects, you can choose between Story points or Time Tracking.

1 - For time tracking, you must enable it using this documentation and then add the field to your bug screens.

2 - For Story points, you must navigate to Jira Settings > Issues > Custom fields > Find the Story points field > Configure > Edit Configuration > Check the bugs issue type under Choose applicable issue types:
