      We are a small publishing company and new to JIRA. We aim to use it for running a small in-house web development team, and also some company processes like IT.

      We want to use agile boards to plan an execute work.
      We have many and varied requirements and have found the best way for us is to put them in as stories describing the need/benefit of meeting; then attaching subtasks with detailed time estimates.
      This works well until we get to reporting. When we look at Agile reports, all the lines are flat.

      We are using time estimation, not story points.

      What do we need to do to set ourselves correctly?

            Thanks for reporting this issue.

            JIRA Agile does not currently support tracking estimates only on sub-tasks. We expect that estimate appears on a parent issue, and that work remaining appears on sub-tasks individually.

            Please see the related issue for the existing issue which captures your request, and watch it for further updates.

            JIRA Agile Team
