Hi

I am trying to get rid of and delete the Category field on Jira Cloud.

It states Locked next to the field on the Settings > Custom fields page with a question mark and Unknown as the type

It would be ideal if this can be removed and the 5 contexts on it removed too - i cannot edit them either. It is OK if it is a native/default field if  anyone can confirm that this field will not be shown or available anywhere in the UI or the API.

Please advise?

Thank you 

Yatish

Hi Yatish,

This is a system field used with Jira Work Management projects and you are not allowed to alter it or delete it.
