A project configuration snapshot represents the configuration of a number of projects (either a single project or multiple) in Jira - their schemes (workflow, permission, etc.), roles, and all other configuration objects which that are related to these projects. A project snapshot can be used to transfer the configuration of projects to another Jira instance or can be used as a template when creating new projects.

Snapshot Options

...

  • A custom field must be referenced by at least one other object different than from the field configuration. 

  • If the "Include custom fields with value in at least one issue" option is set, and the custom field has no references to it, it will be checked if there are any issues in the project for which the custom field has a non-empty value and if any it will be included.
