Reuse JPD custom fields in other JPD project

Question

I noticed that custom fields created in one JPD project cannot be reused in another JPD project. This includes such fields as "Roadmap" which seems to be a custom field automatically created when a JPD project is created.

Reusing customer fields makes it easier to maintain multiple JPD projects, that use the same fields.

Having multiple fields with the same name makes it pretty hard to create automation. Sharing fields across JPD projects solves that problem.

Hey @Sam Hepworth

You are correct fields in JPD are per project. One of the constraints from the Atlassian Team-managed projects model (because when you think about it, shared fields actually have a lot of draw backs since no one authority technically owns them, version control becomes a thing). I believe it's feedback the JPD team are thinking about (e.g. Field Configuration Schemes in JPD ).
