Ignore Screen Configuration

This setting was introduced in Issue Matrix 1.14 for backward compatibility purposes. Prior to version 1.14, an Issue Matrix would be shown on the view issue screen even if not included on any screens - it was only necessary to create the appropriate custom field configuration (context) for a given issue type and project. With this approach, however, it was difficult to control which Issue Matrix fields are shown where and the order in which several fields are shown on the screen. Starting with version 1.14, Issue Matrix will honor the screen configuration when rendering fields - the behavior is consistent with any other field in Jira.

Since this change is not backward compatible, the Ignore Screen Configuration setting was introduced. When this setting is enabled, the old behavior will be preserved so existing customers can properly configure their screens before switching to the new behavior.
