Custom fields - how do I add options?

Stephanie McHugh

I'm building my form fields and creating some drop-down custom fields. Once I create a field and drag it into the form, I cannot go in and edit the drop-down options.  What am I doing wrong?  I'm clicking on the dots, but they're only giving me the option to move my field(s).

Hi Stephanie,

If you ae using the built in form for Jira Software, you will need to edit the choices directly in the custom field. 

Are you using a Team-managed or Company-managed space? 

If Company-managed, then got to Settings > Work Items > Fields. 

Search for your field and click the 3 dots menu to the far right of the field. 

Choose Contexts and default values. There you can add or change the options.
