how to add story points to task in jira?

[Julia Tschernysch]

Hello, 

i want to add story points to tasks in jira. Is that possible?

You can do this by adjusting the fields available for the issue type.

In a team-managed project, that's a matter of the issue type  field mapping.  In company-managed projects, you may need to adjust the context of the field, the field configuration for the issue type and add the field to the create/edit/view screens.

Be warned though, if you are planning to use Story Points on sub-task issue types in an Agile project (like using story points as the sprint estimate) you will fail - it does not work.

Thanks fur your answer.
We have company-managed projects and I have adjust the context of the field, the field configuration for the issue type and add the field to the create/edit/view screens but it sill don't work. 

When I look at the Task in the "frontend" the field is not there but in the backed it is added on the screens.

Hello Frank,

i solved this Problem.

You should click to the Story Points Custom Field and there add the Issue type "task".

Hi Julia,

thank you so much it worked perfectly.

Hi Julia, that helped me, too, but it took me a moment until I realized you have to select "Contexts and default value" from the 3-dot menu.

Why we want to add Story point to a task, or you referring to any tasks which helps to complete a story or this is a standalone task. Which is being worked upon different from any feature?
