What controls visibility of fields under 'More fields'?

David Foote_h3fjnl

Hi all,

I am a new Jira admin and while working with a project admin, I noticed a difference in our 'More Fields' area. I am an org and site admin but had no particular role in this project.

Without having any specific role in the project, I see this under 'More Fields':

If I add myself to the project 'Administrators' or 'Service Desk Team' role I now see a bunch of fields listed under 'More fields'

What, if anything, is controlling the visibility/populating of the 'More Fields' section? I couldn't find anything that seemed specifically linked to it. Or is it just a feature of having issue permissions once I am in a project role?

Really scratching my head on this one, any insight is appreciated!

Hello @David Foote and welcome to the Community!

Fields that appear in this section are configured in the Issue Layout under the "Hide When Empty" section. If you want fields to always appear without having to expand this section, you'd need to move them above the dashed line.

If you want to remove the presence of these fields altogether, you can either remove those fields from the issue screen or drag them to the "Hidden Fields" section on the issue layout screen.

Hope this helps

My question I guess was more around why does being in a Project role affect the visibility of those fields at all?

My screenshots are of the same card, the only difference is in one I have a project role and the other I don't.

Can you provide a screenshot of the permission scheme used by your project? Some of those fields would only be available for users with a JSM license

I have, overall, a JSM license, but when I am not in the 'Service Desk Team' role for this given project, I get the following when using the Permission Helper:

I know a lot of the fields in that section are custom, if that matters.

The permissions scheme is ... a lot
