New request form fields automatically appear in other requests issue views

I'm having an issue in Jira Service Management where adding fields to a new request type affects all my existing request types.

For example, I have 10 different request types like Complaint, Dispute, Compliance, CRM, etc. I recently created a new request type called Legal and added around 15 new fields to its request form. However, these 15 fields now appear in the issue view of all my other request types (Complaint, Dispute, etc.), not in their request forms, but in their issue views.

This has caused a big mess, and now I have to manually remove these fields from each issue view of the other request types. Is there a way to add fields to a new request type without affecting the existing ones? How can I manage this better?

Hi @Leon Gumba 

 

If all request type shared the same issue type, if you add fields to a screen for 1 request type, it will add for all of them because they are sharing the same issue type so same screen scheme. You could create a new issue type with new screen just for legal, and map this request type to the new issue type.

@Florian Bonniec thank you for your input!

Yes, it turned out that all of the request types were tied to the same issue type, which is why the new fields appeared in all the old request types.

I have now created new issue types and associated them with the respective request types, plus I created new screens for those.

Awesome, thank you so much for your help!
