can fields be disabled in batch when configuring project fileds?

liansheng zhang

I have about 50 custom fields in my jira server， and for a certain project, I use 10 of them.

I go to "view all issues and filters" of the project where I can search issue via fields combination.  All 50 fields are shown (in "more") for user to select for filtering， though 40 of them have nothing to do with the project. It is confusing and anoying.

To avoid showing unnecessary fields to user when filtering, i have to go to field configuration of the project and disable the 40 unncessary fields manually one by one. It's a borning work and take long time.

Is there any way to disable unnecessary fields quickly in batch?  or is there any way to make all fields disabled at the very beginning when creating a project then I can enable those needed one by one.

Creating a project template and using that template for project creation will help you. In your template you can define the field configuration and subsequently you can use the template to create new project .
