Make editing Story Points/Estimate in Board Issue Detail View more consistent with the rest of JIRA

XMLWordPrintable

      Problem Definition

      Starting in JIRA 7.2.0, the issue detail view in boards became editable, per JIRA+Software+7.2.x+release+notes.

      When editing a Story points field, such as Estimate, changes are not confirmed unless the user explicitly uses the Enter key on the keyboard, or clicks the checkmark button. Other fields in JIRA, including other editable fields in the Board Issue Detail View and in the regular JIRA Issue view, confirm changes once the user clicks away from the field, changing focus.

      When the user does edit the Estimate field and clicks any whitespace on the page, the field remains in edit mode. This does not happen with the other editable fields, such as Labels.
       

      Suggested Solution

      Change the behavior of the Estimate field so that changing focus away from the field automatically confirms the change. This is to keep it in line with already existing behavior for other fields.

      Why this is important

       
      While this behavior remains inconsistent, users may expect their changes to be committed once focus is changed, and may inadvertently switch to a different issue thinking the change was saved.

      Workaround 

      Explicitly confirm the change using Enter key or by clicking the check button before switching to any other issues or screens.
