Is it possible to enable "Original Estimate" while creating a issue

[Batuhan Dogan]

We'd like to add the "Original Estimate" field, while creating a issue type. Currently it's only visible after the creation of an issue type. 

Active Sprints -> Board Settings -> Estimation - turning on this setting still won't help me resolve this issue. Any other ideas?

Hello @BrianL

Of course it is.

hi @Mark Markov, i looked the two api before, but i only see "create" new screen/scheme but not "copy" the existing one.

"create" new screen/scheme would need to get the field layout of the source screen (taps, fields) and then add to the new one. Lots of things needed in this way. So i'm wondering if there is any straightforward function like copyWorkflow (link below), that would save lots of work.

Unfortunately there is no straightforward method like copy. To copy you will need to get existing schemes, layoutitems etc. and based on this objects create new one or use some plugin like @[deleted] mentioned before.

I tried to copy the whole project:

/rest/project-templates/latest/createshared/{projectId}

Hi @BrianL,

You can do it by using the JIRA Command line (CLI) Interface add-on. Here is the link. 

This add-on will meet your requirement.
