How do I add custom fields

[Gregory Evans]

I need to add custom fields that can be downloaded into a different corporate risk file.

Hi Gregory - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

How would these custom fields be different than other custom fields? 

What type of project are you using? 

[Gregory Evans]

Thanks for your response John.  There are specific data points that are needed to report up thru my org that are not included in the current fields.  I want to harmonize the two to reduce duplicate efforts.  Maybe it's a training issue for me if I I'm able to add custom fields.  My company uses this tool to track material risk projects

You can certainly add additional custom fields. You will need to be a Jira Administrator to do that with Company-managed projects. 

Go to Settings > Issues > Custom fields

For Team-managed projects, you will need to be an Administrator on the project and then you can create custom fields directly in the project.
