Choose Long


For this use case the format duration was chosen since the numeric value is being calculated, a number of milliseconds represents a time duration.

This way the value is represented like 2d 9h 43m instead of a single number.





Check the parameter Use time tracking settings


By checking this parameter, the duration will be based the number of working hours per day, and the number of working days per week as configured in time tracking, instead of 24 hours per day and 7 days per week.





Add the field to the relevant view screens.

Remember: All calculated fields are read-only and cannot be manually updated on a create or edit screen.

Once configured and added to an issue screen, the result will look like this:
