Time tracking values are calculated using the values entered in workflow event fields. You can select the event fields you want to use to calculate actual, estimated, and remaining hours, and story point values. You can use one field or a combination of fields to calculate each value. If you select multiple fields, the sum of each field value is used as the total.
Note: A maximum of 23 event fields can be used to calculate a time tracking value.
You can select any integer or decimal number event custom fields as Actual Hours, Estimated Hours, and Remaining Hours values. You can also select any built-in time tracking fields configured for the event. You can select an integer custom field configured for an item type or events as the Story Points value. See Configuring time tracking.
