Can I add a custom field without having it added to all cards

I would like to add a custom field without going on all my cards

Hi @Deborah Keys , welcome to the Atlassian Community!

If you define different field configurations, you can hide certain fields from certain issue types. However, if you don't add the field to the screen, it won't be visible either.

Can you explain the exact use case? What are you trying to accomplish?

We have created several custom fields where our tech can choose from drop downs/enter text/ check a box etc. We do not want it on all cards
