Configure people section of an issue

Question

Hello everyone!

I'm new to the whole process of setting up Jira and I'm having some issues attempting to configure our newly setup system.

I'm trying to add two new fields at the right side of an issue page under the 'people' section.

I already have an assignee field and well as a reporter field but I would also like to add a tester and reviewer field (thus being able to assign them from there as well). Is there any way to do this, I have searched but I did not find anything useful.

For reference I'm talking about this section:

Any ideas/help would be welcome.

Hello @Aris Kourtesas

You can easily add the two fields "tester" and "reviewer" to the people section.

All you have to do is to create these 2 custom fields of type "user picker" and once the fields are populated with values then they will automatically appear in the "people section" of the jira issue.
