5 Jira System Field Pitfalls (and How to Avoid Them) [Atlassian University Live Webinar]

[#1]

Happy Jira July '22! As part of an ongoing series, Atlassian University offered this free webinar to strengthen your Atlassian product skills and learn directly from Atlassian experts. Together, we explored examine five common pitfalls to avoid when working with system fields. We also learned how Jira admins, especially those new or still learning Jira, can modify system fields without causing unintentional problems—and we  discussed resolutions to problematic modifications, should they occur.

Watch the recording to learn:

• How to avoid five common pitfalls around Jira system fields

• What you can customize in a system field

• How to define and understand the difference between system fields and custom fields or definitions

Also, watch this space 👀👀

As well as answering any further questions we couldn't get to in the Q&A, we'll be adding in top questions from the event and their answers to this post!

Hi - really useful webinar, although I wasn't able to watch till the end, will be great to watch the replay.

I did pop a question in the Chat, but don't know if it was responded to.

I asked if there is any plan to introduce Schemes for Resolutions or Priorities in Cloud?

In Data Centre Priority schemes are available and they're very useful to have. 

I've never understood why no resolution scheme, as it's feasible to me you may want to have different resolution options for issue types (like the way you map issue type to field configuration in a field configuration scheme). It's not always helpful having the full list of resolutions available for  some custom built issue types and that's where i think Resolution scheme could be great to have,

Thanks
