Make Story Points field show on 2 Issue Types of comp-managed project; don't show in other Projects

[Philip Marvil]

I'd like to ask our admin to have the 'Story Points' field show and be used on two Issue Types (User Story and Bug; not Epic) in my company-managed project.  Right now, both Issue Types are present, but the Story Points field is not. 

I would like to test my assumption that it is possible to use 'Story Points' field on two Issue Types in my Project without affecting those fields in all of the other company-managed projects.  In other words, another company-managed project might use 'Bug' and 'User Story' Issue Types but not want to see the 'Story Points' field, and on the converse, there might be some using the 'Story Points' field on the 'Epic' Issue Type, whereas I do not.   Shouldn't it be possible to have different company-managed projects be different in use or non-use and exposure or non-exposure of this field or other fields on the Issue pages?   

Thanks for any advice.  

P.S.  I've ensured 'Estimation' is turned on and based on Story Points in my project, but the 'Story Points' field is not present, nor does it appear able to be added using Project Settings.

Hello @Philip Marvil 

For Company Managed projects the configurations are managed by Schemes that are associated to the projects. A single Scheme may be used by multiple projects.

To confirm that only your one project is affected, the Jira Administrator will have to ensure that it uses certain Schemes that are used only by your project.

This is something Jira is designed to support, so, yes, it is possible to have that type of configuration for your project without impacting any other project. Your Jira Administrator may have decided that all projects must share the same configuration though, or only a limited set of configurations variations are allowed, so they may still reject your request.

Thanks very much!  I appreciate your prompt reply.

Hi @Philip Marvil 

Your jira admin can certainly do your request, unless there are corporate policies that impedes they to satisfy the business requirement. 

This is very commom request, and the ones you posted, Jira can handle for sure.
