Hello @jodi_klein

Welcome to Atlassian Community!

From the screenshot, it appears that the field was deleted. The Jira admin can check when & who deleted the field from the Settings > System > Audit Logs.


Deleted fields will be available in the Settings > Work items > Fields > Deleted fields tab for 60 days from when it was deleted, and the admin can restore it if required.

I hope that helps!

Thank you

Hello @jodi_klein 

We are a community of users of our own Jira instances. We have no access to your instance and no information about why the field may have been deleted.

A Jira Administrator for your instance may be a to find information about when and by whom the field was deleted. You will need to contact the administrators of your instance to get more information.
