How to add estimation to the subtask?

qsdbih November 23, 2015

We have set the board to use Original time estimate e.g. in work hours, days and weeks. 

So how do I add estimation to the subtasks? I cannot do it during the subtask creation or when I edit existing subtask or even if I go the subtask details. 

I don't see any option to add Estimation like I can do it with the regular task.

Make sure the "timetracking" field is

a) Not hidden in the field configuration for the sub-task types

b) On the sub-task issue types' "create" and possibly "edit" screen

But.  Don't.  JIRA Software (JIRA Agile) does NOT take account of the estimates on sub-tasks in the way a lot of people expect it to work (because there's different ways of doing it and Atlassian have opted to code for none of them)
