Jira - Hide Priority field from BUG tickets

Question

I was tasked with creating two custom fields for Jira Bug tickets. The two custom fields are: Priority and Severity.

I then removed the default Priority field from the Bug creation view. However, when the ticket is created, the default Priority still shows up in the ticket screen - see screenshots

My question is this. How do I hide the default Priority field from Bug tickets only?

Thanks in advance!

Once you hide the field in field configuration you must ensure that configuration is being used in your field configuration scheme.

I can confirm that this does indeed work

This is incorrect.  Even if you hide these fields in the field configuration applicable to the screens, it will always be present on the view screen.  There is no way I have found to remove these fields from the view screen for the issue type.

Hello Bryan,

Some fields like priority are hard coded system fields in the view screen and are not driven by screen schemes, so they can only be either visible or hidden.  Currently you can hide the fields via the field configuration, noting that this hides the field across any screen per that issue type.

We also have the following Feature request tracking interest in implementing another option to change this behavior, that I would recommend adding your vote to help track continued interest in the feature:
