Creating a date field on Jira does not appear on calendar view

marcus_ihha7e

Currently Jira provides default date issue fields like Start Date and Due Date. They appear nicely on the calendar whenever i choose a date. 

However, since i cannot edit their names, I would like to create another field called Publish Date for purposes of reminding myself when to publish this piece of content. 

I dragged the date field type from the Create a Field section and tried inputting a date but it doesn't show up on the Calendar.

Hello @marcus 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

You mentioned the Calendar view. That is available only on Jira Work Management projects. Can you confirm for us that you are using a Jira Work Management type of project?

If so that feature uses only Start Date and Due Date. You can't configure it to use other date fields.

If that is not the type of project with which you are working, or you are referring to a different calendar feature, can you provide a screen image to help illustrate what you are trying to change?
