How to update a configured input in a field in JIRA

Sherwin Soriano_cnhh8m

Hi!

How can I update an existing input on a particular field in JIRA?

We have a "Definition of Done" field and it has an automatic or pre-defined values whenever we create a defect issue type.

I wanted to add a new text inside that field.

E.g.

Default input in our definition of done is

1. PO acceptance

2. Test Case Passed?

I Wanted to add a new 3rd one

3. Deployment Plan attached?

Hello @Sherwin Soriano

In what type of project is the field being used? Get that information by finding your project in the list on the View All Projects page under the Projects menu, and looking in the Type column.

If it is a Team Managed project and the field is a locally defined field in that project, then a Project Admin for that project can navigate to Project Settings > Issues, and change the default value of the field.

If it is a Company Managed project, or a global context field reused in a Team Managed project, then a Jira Administrator can modify the default value by finding the custom field in the list of global custom fields...

...and selecting the Context and default value option...

I checked this one by clicking the "Edit default Value", nothing in there

Another weird thing is the value in this field, varies on our the different JIRA projects we have.

How is that possible?

Meaning, Project A has 3 values on it, Project B has 4.

Can you address my first question in my previous response about the Type of the project(s) where you use this field?

When you click on the Context option do you see multiple contexts for this field?

Is the default value appearing in the field on the Create Issue dialog?
