Answer

If you try to find the Original Estimate field to add to the edit issue screen, you won’t find it. So, to be able to edit the Original Estimate from inside the app, you need to add the Time tracking field to the edit issue screen of the project:

  1. Go to Project Settings ⚙️

  2. Issues → Screens

  3. Open the Edit issue screen

  4. Add the Time tracking field

  5. After that, the Original Estimate should be editable from inside Excel-like Bulk Issue Editor.
