Custom field contexts have disappeared

Question

I logged in to Jira yesterday and tried adding one of my custom fields to another project and noticed that I did not have the option to add custom fields to that project.  So I opened the custom fields and looked at the contexts and the projects were missing from the list.  I was not able to add any.  I assume something became corrupt with our Jira cloud instance.  Was there a recent update that could have caused this?  I am the admin of our Jira account and users are very limited on what they are allowed to do so I don't suspect that anyone could have done something here.

Can someone help us out please?

Thank you!

The dropdown is still there.  It is just missing some of the projects that were in that dropdown and I am no longer able to add them back.

It sounds like you’re experiencing an issue with the project drop-down missing when adding a new context in the contacts screen. While I haven’t encountered this on my end, it’s possible that a recent update is affecting your instance.
