I want to set context for system field, however the option to set context seems to be hidden / unavailable

Jira Core 8.20.7, License type commercial (Data Centre)

This is my instance view

Hi Nauman,

As the note at the top of your first image says, only some system fields can be set. In reality there are very few, and I don't even know of one off the top of my head. 

Bottom line though is that you should not try to change the context of a system field.

One other note - some fields like Priority and Resolution can be hidden from the Create and Edit screens, but that's about the only configuring you can do.
