Left hand sidebar - Menu
1. Navigate to the Project Settings
2. Select the Issue Type
Jira Issue - ‘Configure’ Button
1. With a Jira Issue Open - click the Configure button in the bottom - right corner
The issue type of the issue you had open is automatically selected
3. This will open the Jira Field Configuration screen
Find the field, then Drag and Drop
4. Find the fields to add, then use Drag and Drop to place them on the screen
Use the search box to Find the field to add using the following field names,
The Estimated by - showing who has given an estimate field name is "Estimated by"
The T-shirt estimate field name is "T-shirt estimate"
For Team managed projects the field name is "Story point estimate"
For Company managed projects the field name is "Story points"
5. Use drag and drop to place the field in your issue view
Here is how this is done:
Repeat the previous step for every Issue Type you use for estimation
