I receive an error using Jira Insights on my sprint board with some estimation methods. Only ‘QA Story Point Estimate’ works. How can I enable ‘Total Story Point Estimate’?
Based on my own experience with Jira Insights, I found that using alternative estimation methods like ‘Total Story Point Estimate’ requires verifying a couple of settings in both the board configuration and the global Jira settings. In one of my projects, I noticed that custom fields aren’t always enabled by default, and this caused the estimation method to fail. I had to adjust the field permissions and check the mapping in the board’s configuration to ensure that the custom field was recognized. It might be worth looking into your project’s custom field configuration and global settings to see if the required field is properly enabled.
Reviewing my previous experiences with estimation configurations in Jira Insights, I discovered that ensuring consistency between board settings and the associated custom field definitions is critical. In one instance, the ‘Total Story Point Estimate’ did not activate because the custom field wasn’t integrated correctly in the board configuration. Adjusting the custom field’s properties in the global settings while aligning it with the board’s estimation scheme ultimately resolved the issue. It is advisable to verify all field properties and cross-check the integration between global and board-specific configurations.
