Can't add Components Field to Issue Context and New Issue Creation Default

[Elissa Fontaine]

Hi there, 

I have created components for my project but now can't add the "components" field to the issue context fields nor can I add it to the default fields for when we create new issues. 
Is this an admin setting? Where should I look for for this option?

Thanks!

Hi @Elissa Fontaine and welcome to the community!

You have to add fields to screens. To do that in your project, and assuming that you are in a CMP, then:

• Go to project settings > Issue types
• Locate the issue type to which you want to add the component and click on the link under the column "Screen"
• Click on the individual screens that will appear on the next screen and add (scroll down) you component field (start typing and once located, click it and then click add)

Hope that helps!

Hi @Alex Koxaras _Relational_ thanks for the quick reply! I assume you need to have admin rights to do so, correct? 

Thanks! Elissa

You are assuming correct!  :)

Then I will start by contacting the admins. Thanks Alex!
