Durations can show in partial/fractional days based on the # of planned hours compared to the schedule assigned to the user the task/issue is assigned to (or the project schedule, based on your settings). If someone has an 8hr day as part of their user schedule, and you assign something that's 1hr, and don't touch the duration, it's a fractional part of their day. You can set the duration too to 1 day for example, but if you just let the duration automatically calculate based on planned hrs then that's why you'd see fractional days.

If this helped you, please mark correct to help others : )

Hello,

 

Thank you for the reply.

 

Is there a way I can show only whole days?

You can just set the duration manually and put in 1 month, 2 days, etc. along with your planned hrs.

Hello,

 

Thank you for reaching out.

 

Unfortunately I still cannot determine how to enforce whole numbers on my tasks.
