I have created custom fields and added them to a new issue type in a next-gen project. The fields display as expected however, the 'Description' entered for each field does not display. I have used the Description field as help text/prompts for what needs to be entered for the field. Can you please advise what I need to do to have this field display for custom fields. See screenshots below.ss1.gifss2.gif

Hi @Angélica Luz I have a similar question. We want to add custom fields in the "Description fields", but we can't find the added entry. We can only add it in the context. Please give me some help. I look forward to your reply.

Hello @SUNMI HELP DESK,

Thank you for reaching out to Community!

If you are using a team-managed project (next-gen), it’s only possible to add the Paragraph custom fields to the Description.

On company-managed projects (classic), it’s possible to add other custom fields on the Description area. If you are using this type of project, go to Project settings > Issue layout > Edit layout. Then, just drag and drop the fields to the Description area.

Hope this helps!

Kind regards,
