How do I open an issue in 'View' screen

Nawaz

I tried to hide a field from the 'Edit' screen and made it visible in the 'View' and 'Create' screens only. Now, when I click on the issue from a board or from the search results, it issues seems to open the issue in 'Edit' screen by default. I mean, all the fields are editable(ofcourse, except the file I hid). I am coming from a TFS background, so, in TFS, you need to click the 'Save' button to save your changes but in Jira, all the fields are by default seem to be editable right after you open the issue (i.e going to Edit screen straight).

 

How do I see the 'View' screen of the issue so I can see my field that I have hidden?

What you are seeing when you open a ticket is the view screen, on it you will only see system fields and custom fields with values on it. Meaning that if the custom fields are null, those won't show up. Within the view screen you can edit fields as you describe (only this you set on the edit screen), but that's not the edit screen. Try opening a ticket and then press the e key on your keyboard, that will pop up the edit screen in which you need to "save" your changes as you are used to.
