Adding rich text field in Issue view in Next Gen Projects

[Delvie Tinapay]

Hello,

How can we add rich textarea custom field in an issue view in next gen projects? Moreover, why can't we add a custom field on the Description section? It's too difficult to access a textarea on the context section.

Hi Delvie, 

Thank you for reaching out to Atlassian Community!

Currently, it's not possible to add fields on the description area on next-gen projects. Also, the fields shown in Project settings > Issue types are the only fields available for this type of project. We have feature requests suggesting the implementation of this ability:

• Custom fields for Next-gen project
• Allow the customization of the Description Area on Next-gen 

Please, click on vote and watch in order to hear about updates on the development cycle.

Regards,
Angélica
