How to add a budget marker

Company-managed projects

Add field

To set a budget for any progress bar you need to create the custom field you want to use first.

For time budgets the Short text (plain text only) needs to be used. This way you can differentiate between time formats (e.g. 8h 30m or 3d 2h 15m).

For numerical budgets you can use the Number Field.

Once the field is created, add it to the necessary screens.

Assign as budget

In the Summary Panel configuration navigate to the related progress bar and set the field as budget in the drop down menu. Depending on your configuration set up you can do this globally, per issue type or on a project basis.

Add value

In order for the budget to appear on the progress bar, you need to add a value to the field. You can do this in the issue view or Detail View Editor.
