Right on, @Viswa Murthy !

The card layout tab lets you pick and choose three fields to display on backlog tickets.

If you mark your answer as "answered", then people with a similar question can find it easier.

@Dick : I have accepted the answer is that sufficient. Because I do not find any action or button to set the status to answered.

@Viswa Murthy you did perfectly. In the questions list of this forum, your question will be adorned with a green circle with a tick-mark in it. Only the original poster of a question can do this, so thank you for helping out.

Hi there! 👋

To add more fields, like "Remaining Effort," to the "View summary of assigned work" in your backlog, you’ll need to use custom fields and Jira’s filtering capabilities. Here's a step-by-step guide:

1. Enable Remaining Effort Field in Your Project

• Go to Project Settings > Screens.
• Check if the "Remaining Estimate" or equivalent effort field is available on your issue screens. If not:
  • Navigate to Custom Fields under Jira Settings > Issues.
  • Search for "Remaining Estimate" or create a new custom field for effort tracking.
  • Add it to the relevant screens.

2. Use Issue Filters to Customize Your Backlog View

• In your backlog, the summary section pulls data based on the fields configured for your board.
• To modify the data shown, you can create a JQL filter that includes the remaining effort for each issue:
  project = "YourProject" AND sprint IN openSprints() ORDER BY assignee
• Use fields like 'Original Estimate' and 'Time Tracking' in your JQL to surface relevant effort metrics.

3. Enable Time Tracking

• Make sure Time Tracking is enabled in your project. You can do this via Project Settings > Features.
• With Time Tracking enabled, the remaining effort data can be displayed and summarized across your issues.

4. Consider Automation for Updates

• If you need additional custom summaries, use Jira Automation to calculate and display summaries dynamically. For example, you can create a rule to sum up the remaining estimates for all issues assigned to a particular user.

5. Apps for Advanced Customization

If the built-in features don’t meet your needs, apps like ScriptRunner or Custom Charts for Jira can help you build advanced views with additional fields.

Let us know if this helps or if you need further guidance!

Best,
