Hello Guy,
I hope you had a nice week!
Actually, one of the Story point Estimate fields that you are seeing is the Story Point field.
In the new issue view, we have a bug that is causing the Story Point field to be displayed wrongly:
- Story points turns into Story point estimate in new issue view
Additionally, it is not a good practice to use both fields on the same project/screen. I know it is confusing, so please allow me to explain it better:
Today, your project templates are split into two types on JIRA Cloud: Classic and Next-gen projects.
Both projects use their own issue types and have different time tracking methods, which uses two different fields:
- On Classic projects, the estimation is measured on the Story Points field
- On Next-gen projects, the estimation is measured on the Story Point Estimate field
So let's suppose you have a Classic project and one the users added 3 story points to the Story Point Estimate field. it will not be counted in the board report.
That been said, I recommend you to use the correct field to avoid confusion since the project board will measure the estimation only for the correct field, depending on your project template:
Story Points on Classic Projects
Story Point Estimate on Next-gen projects
Let us know if this information answers your questions. In Advance, have a nice weekend!
