Custom Fields - Edit a custom field

There are two ways you can access a custom field to edit its configuration after it has been created:

  1. From the My custom fields page of JMCF Administration, click Action and select Edit. Update the name and description, add or remove projects and issue types, add or remove screens, and update the JMCF configurations described below.

  2. From the Jira Custom fields administration page, click Action and select an option:

    1. Edit details - Update the Field Name, Description, and Search Template for the field.

    2. Contexts and default value - Add or remove contexts for the field. Additionally, configure the Default Value and access the Custom field config to set the JMCF configurations described below.

    3. Translation and options - Set the language in Choose Language, then enter the Field Name and Description for that language.

    4. Associate to Screens - Add or remove Jira screens on which the field will appear.

    5. Move to Trash - Remove the custom field from all screens and move it to the Trash.

Custom fields can be recovered from the Trash for 60 days. After 60 days, the field will be deleted permanently and cannot be recovered!
