Add a custom field to a bug ticket for 1 project only

Question

I have 1 project that needs  custom fields on a bug ticket, can you please tell me the correct steps in order to make this happen.  I created the custom fields but I cannot seem to get the screens and schemes matched to the project.  So hopefully going step by step I can get this to work correctly.

I forgot about the context, this is a better answer than mine.

Hi Trena - I would edit the custom field to add a context for just that project. Then you can add the field to all the screens if you like.

The steps you have to do are as follows:

* Create a new screen that you want to use for this bug in the specific project, easiest is to copy the existing one.
* Create a new screen scheme that the project will use for the bug issue type.
* In the issue type screen scheme that the project use, associate the new screen scheme to the bug.
* Create the new field and associate it with the new screen you created in step 1.
