I too am looking for Issue Layout and I don't think this exists in the Server version.

The documentation for the Issue Layout in the Atlassian docs says "Unable to find page" when you click on the DC and Server button, which is a good indication its not implemented.

What @Krister Broman _Advania_ refers to is the screen configs and schemes.  I can reorder the fields in the pop up screens when Editing or Transitioning issues, but this has no effect on the Issue non-edit display page (eg, where you browse to an issue https://www.jiraserver.com/browse/<Key>).

It appears the layout on that page cannot be altered and displays fields in an order different than what I have in any screen for that project.

The top has a "Details" section, followed by Description, Attachments, Links, Activity.  I don't think you can edit the sections nor the order the fields appear within the sections (without hacking).

These settings apply for both cloud and server.

The settings you search for are in the screens settings: [DOMAIN]/secure/admin/ViewFieldScreens.jspa

It is not in the project settings per say, project settings only refer you back to the system administration settings where these configurations are made. If you cannot see this then you need to ask your administrator.

This is where you should go
