How can I get the system field Category added to my old projects?

[Elsa Li]

I noticed that there is a new Jira created field available for JWM. But it seems that this field is only available for new projects. Wondering how can I add this field to my old projects?

Hi Vickey,

As you have already discovered, using JIRA's project importer requires that all necessary configuration is already in place on the target instance and moving the configuration is a manual and cumbersome process, often causing pain and grief.

To help administrators solve this problem we've built Configuration Manager for JIRA - an add-on which allows users to move the configuration for a specific project or the whole system to another instance and then use JIRA's project import tool to import the issues. Check out the Move Projects use case in our documentation. If you need more information don't hesitate to drop us an email at support@botronsoft.com.
