Field Configuration
Before starting the field configuration, please follow the instructions for creating custom fields: Create a Custom Field
Step 1: Set a name and description
Provide a good name for the new custom field. Make it descriptive, concise, and easy to understand for others who will use it. Avoid using ambiguous or overly technical terms.
Step 2: Configure your custom field
In this step you can configure the progress bar styles, size and color of the custom field.
Step 3 (optional): Progress based on child-issues
Also you can activate a dependency, so the value of the progress is based on the number of closed child-issues.

Jira Service Management (JSM)
For the “based on child-issues” setting:
It is essential to populate or update the field initially through loading the issue view of the request, typically performed by an agent. Failure to do so will result in these fields remaining empty and consequently not displayed on the request view.

Then follow the guide to use the field in the request form or the portal view:
JQL expression
${fieldName}.Progress: number

{
"progress": number
}
