Changing Layout of Issues + Bugs global

[Robin Bendfeldt]

Hello Community,

I want to make some changes for the field in the issues and bug layout. The changes should be gobally for all projects. Is this possible?

And especially for the bug layout I need a field for the expected behavior but in the dropdown to add fields (red in the second screenshot) are no field like this. Can I creat one field-component by myself?

Thank you for your time and help.

Stay healthy.

best whishes

Hi Robin,

For your first question, if I am understanding you correctly, you want to have a common issue layout for screens across your organization when you add a new field. If that is the case, this is not currently possible but it is being worked on. You can vote for the request and follow along here: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-71630

For the second question, again if I understand correctly, you want to be able to create an additional custom field. Sure you can do that - if you are a Jira Administrator. Just go to Settings > Issues > Custom Fields and create your field there. As a part of the process you can add the field to a screen immediately after creating the field.

@John Funk Hi John, thank you for your quick response. I voted for the request. I think that is a functionality what jira really needs.

The solution for my second question worked totally fine. Thank you!
