Adding custom field to main body view of issue above description

[Dave Hattig]

Hi,

I was wondering if it was possible to add a custom field to main body view of issue above description. 

Another question is why would a specific custom field automatically go into the main body of an issue when I didn't do anything different when creating the field.

Thanks for any assistance.

Hi @Dave Hattig

If you are a project administrator on the cloud project, I believe you can use the issue layout configuration for a specific issue type and place it above the description field.
