Currently, Jira Data Center displays time tracking fields (e.g., Time Spent, Original Estimate) in a fixed format, typically either in a "pretty" format (e.g., 1 week, 2 days) or in raw hours (e.g., 56h), depending on global settings or context.
We would like to propose a feature enhancement that allows individual users to choose their preferred time tracking display format. This could include options such as:
- Pretty format (e.g., 1 week, 2 days)
- Hours only (e.g., 56h)
- Days/hours (e.g., 7d 0h)
Why this matters:
- Different users and teams interpret time differently based on their workflows.
- Developers may prefer raw hours, while project managers may prefer a more human-readable format.
- It improves accessibility and user experience by allowing personalization.
Suggested Implementation:
- Add a user preference setting under Profile > Preferences to select the desired time format.
- Optionally allow overriding the global default set by the Jira administrator.
This feature would greatly enhance usability and flexibility for diverse teams using Jira Data Center.
