jtt init

Choose, for each project, the field that holds the estimate and what its numbers mean.

$ jtt init

For each project you can see and have not set up yet, jtt init lists the site’s numeric fields. The fields on one of the project’s create screens are marked ★ and come first. Answer with the field’s number, s to skip the project, or q to stop; each project is saved as soon as it is answered.

Then say what the field’s numbers mean: points, or a time unit (seconds, minutes, hours, days or weeks). For a time unit, also choose the unit reports show. Jira’s own time tracking fields always hold seconds, so for those only the display unit is asked. Your previous field is offered as the default for the next project.

The first project set up becomes the default one, used whenever -p is left out.

Without the questions

Give the field, and jtt init asks nothing:

$ jtt init -p WEB --field customfield_10028 --unit points
$ jtt init -p OPS --field timeoriginalestimate --display-unit days

jtt fields lists the field ids. With -p, init sets up those projects even when they already are; --reconfigure revisits every project:

$ jtt init --reconfigure -p DEMO
