Story Point Estimates Not Showing on Backlog or Board in Team-Managed Jira Project

[Tobi]

Hello,

I’m facing an issue in my team-managed Jira project. I’ve set up the Story Point Estimate property at the issue type level, and it’s confirmed to be the default Jira property (as shown in the screenshots). However, the estimates don’t show up on the Backlog view or the cards on the Jira board.

Here’s what I’ve checked so far:

1. I’m the admin of the project.
2. The project is team-managed.
3. The property is configured correctly and matches the Jira default (as per the screenshots).

I’ve gone through various documentation and forums but haven’t found a solution. How can I get the story points to display on the backlog and board views?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi @Tobi ! Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

I think the answer is you have to turn on Estimation for your project.  This was described in a related question.
