My Custom Fields were suddenly archived, how can I unarchive them?

[Kenny Lee]

I have 2 custom fields that I created a month ago and I have been updating it without problem. Today, the 2 fields aren't editable anymore, and when I click on "Edit", the 2 fields show as "(archived)". 

I don't see a way to archive or unarchive it. Please help.

Thanks everyone trying to help me, I got an answer from Support (see below)

This field is actually dependent on the Archive/Unarchive status of the specific Version that you’re working with. The versions I've selected were archived Version.

In order to edit those fields in that issue, all you need to do is click on the … triple dot button in the <Version #> row, then click on “Unarchive”. That should release all issues of that Version, and that should allow you to make the field changes that you need.

Hello,

What are those fields? Are they from a plugin?

[Kenny Lee]

I created then using Custom Field page, not from.any plugins. Their names are InSprints and Delivery for me to track epic progress. Nothing fancy ...

What kind of field type is this custom field?

[Kenny Lee]

Below is one of the custom fields gone "archived". Its type is Version Picker (multiple selection).

[Ollie Guan]

So, will it affect your choice because the version is archived?

[Kenny Lee]

The values stay the same as it was before it was archived. And there is no option for me to change, it is just static.

Another strange behavior - 

1) I am on the epic detail view

2) I click on "Admin" > "Add Field"

3) I type "InSprints" (one of the custom fields) and hit Enter

This is what the response I am getting - 

This is happening to a new custom field that I added yesterday. Is it broken because "Version Picker" field type?

[Kenny Lee]

So it looks like The "Version Picker" has some issues. I just created a custom field with regular "Selection List" and it is showing up normally.
