Story point and story point estimate (duplicate?) fields

[Alexander Brockhoff]

Hi all

On my Jira Cloud instance I have two fields, one called Story Points, one called Story points estimate.

The Story points estimate field is reserved in the custom field view so that I cannot delete it, while the Story Points field is not. I took this to assume one was custom created while the other was from Jira.

However, it seems Jira by default is using the Story Points field on the views for my issues and in the reporting for velocity etc. 

Is there something I am doing wrong? What is the proper use of each field? The estimate field doesn't make much sense to me as a field since the Story Points field seems to track changes to itself over time/in a sprint.

contacted Atlassian Support.

1. ok to upgrade JRE

2. Not possible to upgrade tomcat.

It is "possible" to upgrade Tomcat. Just not easily. If you deploy JIRA as a WAR instead of the bundled download you can use the of Tomcat version you like (as long as it is supported).

JRE is just easier to replace.
