Hi, Im trying to add custom fields in Focus by Jira. A.png

But the field appears as a mere text, and not as a field. 

Also when clicked on edit; the only things editable are its name, field type and description.

Hey Priyanka, Thanks for reaching out

Can you please elaborate on your use case on where you are trying to use the field, based on the screenshot, is it in side page under sub Focus area? or from the table

For editing, have you tried editing it from the Focus area itself?

Hope you got chance to review Custom field articles and documentation

Hi Pramit, 

I'm trying to use field on the side page(context field).

Yes, I have tried editing from the focus area itself, here it appears as a simple text, unlike a field.

Hi @Priyanka Bharadwaj ! Sorry to hear you've had issues using custom fields. We recently improved the way editing permissions are configured, so you may need to update your Focus settings to allow yourself to edit the custom field values.
