Welcome to the forum.

A bit more details would be helpful. Which template are you referring to?

OK, I see. For this, the code has to be extended. You can submit a feature request to aljawaid, and hope, he will accept and realize it.

BTW, it’s straightforward.

- Modify the plugin file Template/notification/task\_create.php.
- Insert this snippet somewhere after line 20. Beware to keep the structure of other `<li></li>` elements.

```html
<li class="">
    <?= t('Original estimate:') ?> <strong><?= $this->text->e($task['time_estimated']) ?></strong>
</li>
<li class="">
    <?= t('Time spent:') ?> <strong><?= $this->text->e($task['time_spent']) ?></strong>
</li>

```

This should do the job. If you cannot do this yourself, please let me know. I’ll send you a patched file then.
