Custom field not appearing in a 2nd Service Request

[Sebastian Santoyo]

Hello community

I created a custom field ("Oficial" - a user pick field) and put it in the service request "Consultas" in the work item view

Not a problem, but...

That same field, I can only add it in a 2nd service request (Documento(s) entregable(s)) BUT ONLY IN THE Request form

When I try to. add that field "Oficial" in the work item view of the Svc. Request ir doesn't find it, it displays the message We couldn’t find a match for your search

How can I fix this?

Hi @Sebastian Santoyo 

Are both service request type, using the same work item type and are they using the same screens?

So check :

• Work item type used
• Screens related to work item types
• Field Configurations in relation to work item types

Hello Marc thanks

Work item types are the same

The screens related has that field

the filed is present in the work item type, in the "Field configuration"

HI @Sebastian Santoyo 

I missed this on you first screenshot the field message is, it's already on the work item view, 

Whay if you open an issue with the request type (Documento(s) entregable(s)) and then press the 3 dots in the issue and choose find my field?

I just found a solution, please take a look below at my latest screenshots

Not clean but as I could not with orthodox methods proposed by you and other users I did with some nonsense trial and error.... Jira Style I call it LOL

Hello @Sebastian Santoyo 

Looking at your configuration, it occurs to me that you might have the 'Oficial' field configured in a different context that doesn’t match the project and the work item. Could you check the field’s configuration in its contexts?

Hi All I found a Dirty workaround to fix this.

1. Field not appearing in the Work Item View

2. Adding (and saving) that field in the Request form

3. Now the field appears in the Work Item View, I add it and there appears the warning

Some fields will be removed from the request form
Adding fields to the work item view will remove any already in the request form and make them available for agents on the work item only.

Ugly workaround in fact. Something I dislike about Jira SM. You Often solve with nonsense trial an error rather than clean, logica, user friendly and orthodox solutions.
