How to add fields to the smaller issue preview screen?

Amos_Wesner

When I click on the link to an issue and get on the issue details page, I can see the recorded time needed as shown in the screenshot:

 

 

 

What I want: When I click on an issue card, a smaller preview of the issue appears (see other screenshot). I want to add the recorded time needed fields to this smaller preview screen aswell. Where can I add fields to this preview screen (not the detailed issue screen)?

Hi Amos,

That smaller preview is what we call the issue detail view.  It exists specifically on boards in Jira.  There are configuration options for this, which you can adjust if you are a board admin.  To so this you need to click the ellipsis (...) above that one in your screenshot and then select Board settings,

You can then go to Issue Details View.  On that page you can customize what fields appear here. 

There are a few caveats about this:

1. If you are not an admin of this board, you won't see the menu to get to the page where this can be configured
2. Not all fields will always appear here. If the field configuration scheme used for the project's issue types has the fields hidden for example, those fields won't appear here even if added in this view.
3. Even you are an Admin of that board, the new issue view in Jira the order in which fields appear here are set for issue types per project.  There is a purple background notification about this if you get to that issue details view configuration page:

 

I hope this helps.
