Modifying field configuration changes the default field configuration as well?

[Chris Ghazanchian]

I'm trying to understand whether this is normal behavior or not..

I have two field configurations: Default Field Configuration & Accounts Receivable Field Configuration

When I go into the Accounts Receivable Field Configuration and modify the screens that the field "Invoice Number" should show up on, the changes happen on the default field configuration as well.

I'm curious if this is normal behavior or not as I want to keep the default field configuration mostly empty (except for the system required fields: Summary & Issue Type). The reason I would like to keep it empty is so that when I create a new field configuration, the screen configs for the rest of the field configurations aren't already there.

The option is no longer available/needed with JIRA 7 and by default is set to ON. Further input from the JIRA bugmaster is here: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-44822
