How do I add a value to a custom field dropdown list?

[David Rucktaschel]

I have a custom field that includes dropdown value options; I forget how to add a new value to the list.  Please advise.  Thx, Dave

Hi @David Rucktaschel

You'll need to be a Site Admin - then follow these steps:

• Go to the Jira Settings cog icon (lower-left corner on the navigation bar)
• Select Issues > Custom Fields
• Locate your custom field, press the options button (3-dots) and choose Configure
• Press Edit Options in the configuration screen and add your new options

Hi Stephen - Thank-you for your prompt reply.  Now I know why I was confused; the organization I work for has created an Agile/JIRA Administration team and I no longer have Site Admin rights.  Thx, Dave
