How do we add/remove "fields" in JIRA and what can we bind them to? Projects, categories, components, etc.

[Jobin Kuruvilla [Adaptavist]]

You can bind custom fields to projects and issue types.

See https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Adding+a+Custom+Field and https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Configuring+a+Custom+Field#ConfiguringaCustomField-Context

You can also determine which screens they appear on and can hide them using screen schemes and field configuration schemes even if they are available in a project or issuetype.

Are you able to add/remove fields?
