    Description

      Feature request

      Advanced Roadmaps for Jira (improved planning interface) renders the column for "Story points" with a fixed label. It does not reflect the actual name of the field.

      This is a problem because it can misguide users on what the actual field name is:

      • The default field is "Story Points" (with a capital P), not "Story points"
      • There can be many "Story Points" style fields in Jira, including perhaps "Story points" (lower P), which is not the right field
      • The true source of the field is opaque -> it is not documented, and the way to change it is obscure, requiring a database change
      • Story Points field can be renamed to something else (in the event of instance consolidation, migration, other arbitrary reason).
      • Boards can use multiple estimation fields, ARJ doesn't support this, rather it uses the JSW default

      Suggested solution

      Render the name of the column as the actual field name. This self-solves and guide the customer to the problem
