Can I add a section or tab to a Jira software issue view? So far, I haven't found an answer, except in JSM (can't use that). I thought I actually did this many months ago, but I can't find that work.
Hello @Phil Bustin
For a Company Managed project you can add a Tab to a Screen.
The option is not available yet for Team Managed projects.

Thank you. Near as I can tell, that's only for a transition screen; that is to say, there's no way to assign a screen to a status.
If there is no way to add a tab or section to a default status screen, is there a way to add a dozen or so fields to the More tab?
The screens I pointed out above can be used for the Create/Edit/View Screens for issues (when compiled into Screen Schemes) or can be used associated with status transitions in workflows.
I'm not sure what you mean by the "default status screen". Can you provide a screen image?
I'm only going by experience. When editing a workflow, I can assign a screen to a transition, but not a status. I have no experience compiling a screen into a screen scheme. Also, in the Sandbox, I've inherited existing schemes and configurations, and I'm leery of changing anything that might affect other entities.
At any rate, if I can create a screen with sections or tabs, without affecting global settings, I will. I just don't know quite how or where.
In Company managed projects you can assign a screen to a workflow transition. When the transition is selected, the screen is displayed. There is no feature for associating a screen to an issue status value.
In addition to Transition Screens you create screens that will be associated with the Create Issue dialog, and with the Viewing and Editing of the issues. Those are the screens you group into Screen Schemes. Screen Schemes get grouped into Issue Type Screen Schemes.
The grouping hierarchy is
Issue Type Screen Scheme|-- Screen Scheme |-- Screens
First you build the screen with all the fields you want to use when you are either Creating, Viewing, or Editing an issue.
In a Screen Scheme you associate the Screen you created to the operation (Create, Edit, or View).
In an Issue Type Screen Scheme, you associate the Screen Schemes to Issue Types. You might have one set of fields that you use for Epics, another set for Stories, a third set for Bugs, and a fourth set for Subtasks.
You can reference this documentation and the child and related pages to learn more about managing Screens, Screen Schemes, and Issue Type Screen Schemes. This all applies only to Company Managed projects. None of this applies to Team Managed projects.

The screen image I supplied above pointing to the Add Tab option is in the Screen Configuration functionality. That is where you create/configure the screens that are used for Workflow Transitions or Issue Operations.
