change default field name

[Nicolas Bourdages]

I think he means changins the name of a field like Summary or Priority.

It can be done, but requires some work.

That solution is not doable on Cloud, is it?

[Nicolas Bourdages]

I doubt it works on cloud. I haven't tried this on server either mind you.

[Nic Brough [Adaptavist]]

No, it's restricted.

[Gabrielle Bautista [ACP-JA]]

What do you mean by Default Field Name? Where?

[Gilad Reshetnik]

Like "Description" or "Assignee" or "Attachment"?

[Ignacio Pulgar]

Why would you like to change JIRA's built-in field names? Translation purposes? To match terms in a contract?

You can create a custom field with any other name and functonality you might need...

[Nic Brough [Adaptavist]]

Unless it's summary, issue type, priority, versions, component/s, priority, resolution, status, assignee, etc, which all have functions you can't do with custom fields

[Ignacio Pulgar]

You are right, Nic.

So, Gilad, what fields would you like to rename exactly?
