In order to show people that are working on the task in Jira, you may create a “multi-user picker” field and then indicate your additional assignees there.
If you do not have such field yet, here is how you can set it up quickly:
Open Jira Settings > → Choose Issues
Find a Tab Custom Fields > →Create New Custom Field
Proceed with Advanced Fields > → Find a “Multi“Multi-user Picker” Picker” Field
Add Custom Field.
Issue Collaborators configuration

Go to ActivityTimeline Configuration > →JIRA Integration page
Set Issue Collaborators = Example: Collaborators (Or any other Jira custom field of multiple user picker type that you created):
3. Press Update to save the changes

The remaining Estimate will be equally split between all participants. Here is how it would look on the Jira ticket: 
And in ActivityTimeline: 
Assignee part differs from collaborators' parts in color:
Blue color stands for the Assignee's part of a ticket
Orange color stands for the Collaborators' parts of a ticket
One can move the issue parts in order to change Planned Start or Planned End date values:
All the changes made on timelines with issue parts will be synchronized into JIRA and vice versa.
