Is it possible to have our of the box fields copied and reused?
If you mean create more fields of the same type, then in most cases, no. Almost all the "out of the box" fields are system fields which means you can't add more of the same.
But you can add "custom fields", some of which work in very similar or identical ways.
And you can use scripts or automations to copy the values of custom or system fields into other fields.
Nic,
Thank you. Ok the hope was to copy and rename a system field and reuse it. The context is custom fields lack capabilities over system fields. If this is incorrect please advise.
You can't create more of the system field types.
What functions are you finding missing from the custom fields that are roughly analogous?
We were trying to identify a handful of system fields not Custom JIRA fields which could be re-purposed. I think that gap in my context what is the function capability difference between system field types and custom field types? If a custom field can be used to audit, report, and query without obfuscation then we might be able to leverage this approach.
