If you are using Metadata for Jira Version 4.5 or older, please check out the documentation here. |
If you want to customise a Metadata Project Screen, you can do so on the Metadata configuration page under the tab Project Screen.
Here you find a list with the existing Project Screens. You can edit them, create new screens or delete screens, if they are not needed anymore. (Note that the default screen can not be deleted.)
In order to select one Project Screen as the default, simply pick one from the dropdown in the middle of the page.
(Note that this screen can not be deleted as long as it is set as the default.)
If you want to create a new Project Screen you can base it on an existing one.
Click on the Project Screen you want to use as the basis for your new screen.
The JSON of this screen will appear in the editor on the right.
Now give your new screen a name and key. Both have to be unique.
If you don’t change the name and key of the screen, the existing screen will be overwritten.
Now change the JSON as you see fit. You can add and remove keys. But be aware that you can only use keys of Project Fields defined under the Project Field tab.
You can find a list with all predefined Project Fields here.
You can find out how to customise Project Fields as Jira Administrator here.
If you are done with your changes, click on Save. Your new Project Screen is ready to be used.
