How to transform a Project Field into a Global Field?

Simone Longoni_kf26s2

Ciao!

I would like to start a new Jira Product Discovery project reusing many of the things I did for an existing one: views, statuses, fields.

The many fields I defined 1 year ago as project fields now should be made global, so that I can reuse them also in the new project.

I couldn't find any way to achieve it?
(For the bigger need - reusing views, statuses, and fields - a clone of the project would event work better).

Is there any suggestion?

Grazie,
Simone

@Simone Longoni @Thierry BLOCH Funny you should ask: just this morning we had a design review about a tool to help you in that transition. We haven't started building it yet.

Today you'll need to create and configure the new field, then update ideas that use this field to have the right value - which you can do via automation, or using bulk edit from a list view (select many ideas > apply a field value in the list > it applies the value to all ideas)

It's hard to make this one discoverable! We've tried a few different ways.

So in your case, I'd recommend to :

create a list view
add the global field to that view
group by the project field
and then in a few clicks you can set the field value for all ideas.

Hi @Tanguy Crusson did this get prioritised in your teams? Otherwise I can use this work around.

Hello! @Tanguy Crusson is there any update on the tool you mentioned for promoting fields from Project level to Global for re-use across other projects?
