Hide field not available in Field Configuration in the new Jira navigation

[Spasimira Genova]

Hi community,

I enabled the new navigation only for myself some time ago so I can get used to it but I'm noticing now that there is no option to hide fields from the Field configuration as it was with the previous one. Has this feature been disabled?

I had a big implementation plan related to this feature so if there is any workaround to hide a field from the UI but continue to use it in the background for automations, that would be great.

Thanks!

Hello @Spasimira Genova 

According to the weekly blog posts:

...the new methodology for hiding fields is to remove them from the field configuration.

Hi @Trudy Claspill

Thanks, this is super helpful, I didn't realize this was the approach.

My main goal is for the field to not be visible in the user UI as its only purpose would be to track information based on an automation which runs in the background when a ticket is closed.

Will test it out!
