How to add estimate to issue (Scrum)

[Patrick Meenan]

Hi, I am new to Jira and I would like to add a time estimate to my issue. I am able to log time and change the time remaining but I cannot find any dialog to add a time estimate for this bug?

I have found guides for the previous UI but since this has changed I cannot find the required dialog. I think I am missing an enable function but cannot find it.

Has anyone had a similar issue and if so how did you get round it?

Fixed.

Navigate to Project settings > Fields > Actions > Edit Fields > (find field you want - i.e. time tracking) > screens > choice project you want it on.

To log work, you must click into the task ( not just pop up on board ) > click the + beside 'time tracking' and log it there.

I followed all steps and it did not work. Not sure why cant this basic feature be more stright forward.

After following all the steps I am still unable to edit time estimation for the task.
