Adding existing field to a diffrent project

Question

Hi Team,

I wanted to know about one screen scheme change. I tried to apply one screen to a different project. I have created one test project and created multiple fields, and these fields I would like to use these on another project. Can anyone please explain to me how to do this? Do I need to create a new scheme?

Hi @Rakesh Gokuldas. There are different ways to accomplish that.

* The first option would be to add the fields to the screen and update the "Context" of the Custom Fields to be displayed only on the relevant project(s)

* The second option, as you said, creating new screens, and possibly a screen scheme and an issue-type screen scheme depending on what is being shared.

I copied and saved it. Can I apply this screen directly from the project? How do I use the emulated screen without affecting another project? The current screen is shared with 6 other projects.

Hi @Rakesh Gokuldas,

Is it a team-managed project or a company-managed project?

If you want to add a few custom fields to the screen of a company-managed project, you can follow the documentation below

I hope that helps.

Cheers,
