Unable to add a second Text Field (multi-line) custom field

Harley Beech

Hi,

A few days ago I created a custom field in jira and set the type to Text Field (multi-line)

Today I need to create another custom field as the same type for a Release Notes section. However, when I try to find the text field multi line option as a field type, I can't see it.

Workflow:
Project Settings -> Issues -> Fields -> Actions -> Edit Fields -> Custom Fields -> Create Custom Field -> Set view to 'All' -> Unable to locate Text Field (multi line)

I have already configured this once for Acceptance Criteria so I am unsure why I can't add another? Is it because you can only have 1 multi line text field in Jira Cloud? Thanks

Hey Harley - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Go to Settings > Issues > Custom Fields

You should be able to create the field there.
