Field defined in screen layout not showing

José Freire_q8gbxy

Hi everyone,

I have field(s) in my Issue Layout that are not showing in the actual screen.

Could you clarify if this is a bug or if I'm missing something?

As an example, fields Progress and Progress Sum (in the layout below) are not displayed in the actual screen. I know this is the correct layout for that specific screen as I've accessed it from the page itself, through the "Configure" option in the bottom right corner of the screen.

Any ideas on why this might be happening?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions

Hi Jose,

This might be related to an incident that Jira had with showing the child issues for Epics. If the progress is based on this, that was probably the issue. It should be fixed now if you check it again.

Right, @José Freire - is it working now?

Hi John, thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, the fields are still not showing. They never have, actually, since I've added them to the screen layout.

Also, if I use "Find my field" for those 2 "Progress" fields, they are not on the list.

@José Freire can you go to the custom fields options and check the contexts for both the fields, please see that the issue type and the project are added under context for these fields.

Can you check on the below as well

Check if the fields are added to the screen of the issue type for all Create, edit and view screen
Try checking with Field Configuration:
- Jira Settings > Issues > Field Configurations
- Make sure the field is not hidden in the configuration used by your issue type

Hi Santosh,

- they are added to the 3 screens (I'm currently using the same screen)

- The 2 Progress fields "missing" aren't showing under Jira Settings > Issues > Field Configurations. Only the custom Progress (%) is showing

Hi,

I ended up opening a ticket with Atlassian and this is the response I got, in case it's useful to anyone:

"The Progress field in Jira is a system-generated field that is automatically calculated and controlled by Jira. It reflects the percentage of completion based on time spent and remaining estimate, and as such, it cannot be manually edited by users.
That said, I’ve updated the existing feature request to specifically include the ability to display the Progress field alongside aggregate fields in the issue screen view. This would help provide better visibility into task progress directly from the issue screen, especially in use cases where tracking time and progress at a glance is important."
