Custom Field: how create Context for multiple projects (but not Global)

[Ratom]

Hi all,

We have custom field = Market with the list of values. Initially this field didn't have Default value (=None). 

It was used OK for single project, and now we try to expand it to 2 more projects and found that it won't work.
When we turn on Global context, it broken workflows for all other projects requiring set a default value for Custom Field  "Market".

We can set default value for it to something from the list but I afraid that it can break something for other 20 projects. Or do you think it will transparent for all other project which don't want to use this field ?

As seen on pic #3 you can select only single project or Global. Maybe somewhere in main Jira config we have option to turn ON multi select ?

What would be a good solution? Is it possible to find a way to make this field work only for 2 projects ?  

Thanks + Happy Holidays

Hi @Ratom - If you are just trying to have a context be shared for more than one project, you can just hold the CTRL button down and you are then able to select multiple projects from screenshot #3 that you shown.

This is what I have done in my example.

Hi @Ratom 

What you want can't be done, there is not such an option.

Use the global context for all projects and a new context for a project where a default value needs to be set.

So for the 2 projects you need a default value, create a context for this project with the same options and set one as default.

The global context is for all projects then and the 2 other contexts for the specific project.

Hello Ratom,

we can create separate context for each project with different options for the same custom field.It will not break any  workflows.
