Issue Layout not working for Custom Field (Select List - Single Choice)

Brian Longstreet

I created a custom field using the Select List (Single Choice) format. It showed up fine in my project. I was able to see it as an available field in my issues. However, I am not able to change it's position on the Issue screen.

I move the field where I want it using Issue Layout. The new Issue Layout saves. Although when I go back to the project and create a new Issue, the Issue Layout just for the Select List (Single Choice) fields I created don't move to their new position.

Can anyone tell me a reason for this?

Hi Brian,

In JIRA there are three areas where a screen can be applied to a configuration. These being view, edit, and create. These context do what it says on the tin. IE if you modify the edit context, then the edit screen will be modified. It sounds like you are changing the screen associated for viewing or editing, rather than the screen for create.
