How do I display a custom field on the View issue screen

Chris Garvey February 7, 2018

This is a question that has been asked several times. I've tried all of the suggestions but can't get it right. 

I want to see a custom field in the issue info panel that loads on the right when clicking on an issue in the backlog view.

HOW??!!?

Hi Chris, 

let me give you a step-by-step recipe:

  • open your board
  • click on "Board" -> Configure in the upper right corner

  • Then select "Issue Detail View" in the left sidebar:

  • Here you can add your custom fields to the detail view (and configure all the others, if you want)

Fantastic, thank you.

And is there a way to hide fields on this view if they are empty?

Hi Thomas,

I see Jira has changed the their layout and I can't find where to edit the view issue screen. Can you help me?

Do you mean the popup-window in the new layout?

I have just tested with a new custom field and this custom field is there immediately after entering a value:

Hi Thomas,

I have an additional question I am struggling with. I'd like some fields to display on the View Issue screen for certain issue types and not others. I've set these fields to show on the relevant board, but I'd only like them to show for specific issue types. Help ;-)

I am very familiar with the suggested answer above and use it when needed.  My issue is i have a CUSTOM FIELD and it does NOT show as available to add - even though it is on the screen when expanded, just not on the smaller window at the right when looking thru board/backlog
