I am not able to add custom fields in the group by option of Jira Plan Views

Question

I have a few custom fields on which I need to group by in Jira Plan

I have added them through "manage custom fields " but still they are not visible in group by drop down. I have tried to add both text fields and drop down.

Strangely some custom fields like "Team " are available

Also standard fields like "Status" are not visible.

PSB for the details

Yes, sure , that is what I am thinking. I will look for using labels for other views as well

Thanks for your prompt replies !

Thanks for the clarification! You could indeed setup some automation rules that fill either a label, or one of the supported 'Group By' fields to allow this anyway.

Thanks for your repy ! Actually I am trying to logically group issues . I was able to create a view using labels (PSB) . I want to create similar view for other business requirements but I wanted to use a already existing custom drop down field
