How do I restore a deleted Roadmap field?

Helen Platt July 21, 2025

Hi all, 

 

I've just accidentally deleted a column view (field?) in JIRA Product Discovery called "Roadmap" that had 2 statuses (Now, Next, Later)

Does anyone know how I can either restore that column view or create a new "Roadmap" column view with the correct field properties?

Many thanks

For anyone else reading this, my eventual solution to find field values of deleted fields was to create a new fake "temp" project with the same template our org uses, find the field and recreate the field in my ongoing project. Then I deleted the temp project completely. Fortunately I have full JIRA Admin rights to do this.

hello, 

You can add or remove them again by clicking "More" (...) on the board, then going to Board Settings > Columns.

Thanks for replying but it seems a bit tougher than that. 

I will see if this workaround works https://community.atlassian.com/forums/Jira-Product-Discovery/Deleting-a-field-is-too-easy-and-hard-to-reverse/m-p/2814383#M2282

Hi @Helen Platt 

It's possible you have just hidden it.  If truly deleted, you will need to recreate it, the following link should cover both cases.

Many thanks for your reply. Yes I did delete it unfortunately, and thought I was deleting something else. 

However, it seems that it's quite difficult to restore. I found another comment here: https://community.atlassian.com/forums/Jira-Product-Discovery/Deleting-a-field-is-too-easy-and-hard-to-reverse/m-p/2814383#M2282
