I am a Jira Board Administrator but Team dropdown not available. I have full rights to Admin my Project Board but no way to create a Feature Team for this Project. Why?
Hello @Colin Davidson
Welcome to the Atlassian community!
Where are you expecting to see the Team dropdown? Are you expecting that to be a field in the issues?
Do you see an option for Teams in the menu bar at the top of the screen (in the same area as pull downs for Projects, Filters, and Dashboards)? Do you see a Plans option in the same menu bar?
Hi Trudy... yes, it should be there.. here are my screens that I have available. I have Plans available. If that is where I can create a Feature Team, please link me to the workflow.. thanks!

Feature Team appears to be a Select List (single choice) custom field that has been added to your instance and your project.
Are these issues in a Team Managed project or a Company Managed project? That information will show at the bottom of the navigation pane on the left when you are viewing the project/board.
For a Company Managed project:
To add values to that list a Jira Administrator needs to go to the Custom Fields page and modify the Context for that field.
The Jira Administrator can click the gear icon next to their avatar in the upper right corner of the menu bar and select Issues. In the next screen, in the navigation bar on the left select Custom Fields. In the new screen search for the Feature Team field. In my example a similar field is New Story Points Select.
Click on the ... button to the right of the field and select Contexts and default value
You will see a screen that shows the Contexts for the field. There will be a Default Configuration Scheme context, and possibly contexts for specific projects/issue types. If there is a context for the specific project/issue type you are working with, you'll need to modify the options in that context. If you want the change available for all projects/issues types that don't have a specific Context, modify the Default context.
Here is a link to the documentation for Custom Field Context for Company Managed projects:
https://support.atlassian.com/jira-cloud-administration/docs/configure-custom-field-context/
For a Team Managed project:
If this is a Team Managed project, then you would add options to a Selection List field through Project Settings > Issues Types, and select the issue type. Then click on the selection list field and edit the available options.

I do not see that information.. I believe it to be a Team Managed Project. We have workflows and templates that are required to be used by the Company, but any Projects or Boards we create are by Team Administrators.

Your post is tagged as Jira Cloud. Can you confirm for me that you are in fact using Jira Cloud? Is your instance URL similar to the following?
https://<yourCompany>.atlassian.net
If your URL does not include .atlassian.net then you are not using Jira Cloud.
You are instead using either Jira Server or Jira Data Center.
Another way to confirm you are using Jira Server or Jira Data Center is to look at the bottom of the Jira home screen for a version number, similar to this
And if that is the case you won't see the note at the bottom of the navigation panel on the left. Only Company Managed projects are available in Jira Server and Jira Data Center.
If you are using Jira Server or Jira Data Center, then this is the link for managing the Contexts for custom fields.

ok.. that looks more like it but I also see it comes down to a permission issue.. I will need to pursue that on my end as I can only see "Projects" and none of the other selection sets.. Thank you for the guidance Trudy!
