You can add the Estimate custom field to set the estimation time for a ticket (for example, 3w 4d 12h) if you don't want to use Jira's built-in estimation field.

1. Go to Jira **Administration > Issues > Custom Fields**.
2. Click **Add custom field**.  
  
> Macro (inline-media-image)
3. Select **Estimate Field** and click **Next**.  
> Macro (inline-media-image)

The Estimate custom field is now available for use on issue screens.
