Add the ability to add estimated time to an issue

[kolaente]

It would be cool if you could add estimated time to an issue to better plan the workflow.

@JonasFranzDEV this is probably relevant for you.

So let's close this one since duplicated with #3003

[gsantner]

@lunny
I think this can be reopened as #3003 didn't handle estimated time. At least as in current commit 3fb038c theres no way to set time estimation.

This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had recent activity. It will be closed if no further activity occurs during the next 2 weeks. Thank you for your contributions.

Would be cool to show the total amount on a milestone

Something like:

i love gitea very much, i use gitea every day,
this feature could goes well with my work !
i hope you guys have a plan ~

[chriswnz]

Would use this feature, without firing up a project management system, it's a quick way to check how time spent is going.

Love Gitea thanks to everyone involved.

Hasn't this already been implemented already for a long time?

[lafriks]

That's spent time - estimated time is for planning to set estimated time on how much time would be needed to fix/implement issue

We already have start date, maybe an end date could satisfy the requirement and that will be a base of gantte graph

In this issue (feature request) it's wanted to set estimated time in the manner of "implementing this is estimated to take 8 hours" and later be able to compare it to the actual time spent. GitLab has this feature (estimated and spent time).

[chriswnz]

Unfortunately an end or due date doesn't really let me log what I estimated for time vs what I logged in the issue.
Even if I had the luxury of only working on a single issue at a time to make that work, the granularity on due date is entire days where an issue may only be estimated at 3 hours.
It would also help with selecting issues to work on by selecting issues that might have a lower priority but can be cleared in a short amount of time. Sometimes its nice just to clear a few.
Thanks.

I encounter the same requirements. I'm trying to add this feature on gitea. I am on early stage, visible there: main...julienfastre:gitea:2615-add-estimated-time-to-issue (I am a newbie here, guidance and remarks are welcome!)

[denyskon]

This seems to be discussed actively/worked on in #23112. I think it is better to close this to prevent issue duplication (even though this issue is way older)
