Time Spent Filed

[Oshadhi Vindhyani]

Hello. 

Can someone explain me what is the different between  following time spent fields and how do you use them on Projects? 

FYI: I know how to add to them to Issue screens and customize them. 
Company manage project, Jira Admin access, Jira standard Pricing plan.  
 

Thank you.

Hi @Oshadhi Vindhyani Time Spent is the time time spent on the issue.  Aggregated Time Spent is the time spent on the issue including its sub-tasks.

@Craig Nodwell  Thank you so much for this answer.

I'm not sure if this answer is fully correct. It does indeed add up the time spent on child stories of the Epics but it does NOT include time spent on its sub-tasks, even not if you checked the box "include subtasks".

A bit strange because the time spent is added to the time spent of the story but NOT added to the Epic level with the field ∑ Time Spent

Coming back to this and what @jeroen_wilmes already stated, this is all weird, how should one use that data for reporting of time really spent top-down through the hierarchy?

Could you please elaborate on this @Craig Nodwell ?
