How can I disable the "Original estimate" and "Remaining estimate" fields

[Kris van der Starren]

I would like to disable/remove the "Original estimate" and "Remaining estimate" fields when logging work. We use Jira as more of a time tracking tool and these fields don't offer a lot of value. Is there a way to do that?

[Kris van der Starren]

No, I mean that I want people to be able to log the work that they do against a task but I don't want them to have to enter a "Remaining estimate" or "Original estimate" when they log time.

you mean you want to disable worklog?if yes then check this this document

another way is using javascript you can hide those two options,

try with this by adding in footer.jsp or you can add it in any plugin as web resource

<script type="text/javascript">  
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
JIRA.bind(JIRA.Events.NEW_CONTENT_ADDED, function (e,context) {
		hideField();
	});
	
	hideField();
function hideField(){
	var remainEst=document.getElementsByName("adjustEstimate");
		for ( var x = 0; x < remainEst.length; x++) {
				remainEst[x].hide();
				(or)
				remainEst[x].closest('div.field-group').hide();
		}
		
	$("timetracking").closest('div.field-group').hide();
	
}
});
</script>

We run Jira OnDemand. Can this solution be used with OnDemand? Also, I was hoping for some kind of built-in functionality. Is there anything in the settings that would allow this?
