How I can associate context with the custom field?

[Deleted user]

How I can associate context with the custom field. I know Jira creates default context when we create new custom field. Any suggestions would be appreciable.

Hello @[deleted] 

To add a new context: 

1. Select > Issues.

2. Under FIELDS, select Custom fields.

3. Find the custom field you want to configure and select  > Contexts and default value > Add new context. Alternatively, you can select a field's screens or contexts link and then select Contexts > Create, edit or delete contexts.

4. Enter a label and description for your new context. These are used for your reference in the administration section only and will not be shown to your end-users.

5. In the applicable issue types section, select the issue types that you want this custom field to appear in. 

6. In the applicable contexts section, select a global context or choose specific projects that you want this custom field to appear in. Note that the custom field will only appear on the issue types you previously selected.  

7. Select Add.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,
Mayur
