How to create and customize User & Project Fields
Since Metadata for Jira Version 4.6 Project Screens are build of Project Fields.
You find more information on how to customise Project Fields as an Jira Administrator here.
You find more information on how to customise a Metadata Project Screen (for Metadata for Jira Version 4.6 or higher) with Project Fields here.
If you are using a Version of Metadata for Jira 4.5 or older, you find more information on how to customise Project Screens here.
Project Fields are predefined fields that can make it easier for users to enter the right metadata in your Project Screens and make the look of the screens more appealing.
Project Fields are defined in one place and used in all Project Screens, making sure that fields with the same key have always the same type.
E.g. instead of letting the user type in a value for a metadata you can predefine the field as a select with custom options to chose from. You can even add icons to these options. These icons will not only be shown in the Project Screens but also in the Metadata Project Overview.
To navigate to the Project Field configuration panel, click on the cog icon on the top right of the page and click on Manage apps.
Click on Metadata configuration in the sidebar on the left.
Click on the Project Field tab.
Here you see the predefined Project Fields.
Every field has a key, a type and the information on how many screens this field is used.
Here you can customise existing fields, add new ones and delete fields that are not used. (Note that only fields that are not used in any screen can be deleted.)Here you can find more information on how to customise Project Fields as Jira Administrator.
