Is there no way to schedule a tast to the hour or minute?

[Holly Leary]

In trying to integrate Jira with a calendar (either Calendar for Jira or Google Calendar, for example), I can't find any story fields that allow me to schedule a story for a person for a specific period of time (like from 10:00 am - 1:00 pm, for example), so all stories just show up as all-day events, which makes it impossible to visually see how long each should take. I like to use a week view to schedule to the hour, and this seems impossible with this product as-is.

Any way to get this to work? 

Thanks!

Hello @Holly Leary you might need to add some extra date and time custom fields. There is also the date custom field which is the one I suppose you are using and might be causing this behavior. I've used the others in team calendars several times and works fine to set time ranges.

Thanks @Hernan Halabi - Elite IT Consulting Group. I was using due_date and start_date, but I will add a custom date field and see if I can set times as well as dates. I very much appreciate the help.

anytime... let me know if that worked as expected

It worked! You have no idea how much this has helped me. This problem has been an obstacle for me for years. I don't know why I didn't just ask sooner. Thank you so much!
