How to add a costume field to an existing issue

[levi-putna]

I have created two coustiome fieleds, Tester and Test Plan that I have added to all projects and screens. The problem is I already have a large backlog of issues and the two new fields are only available to new issues I created after I added the coustome fieleds and usavailable to existing issues.

My question is, how do I make these fieldes available to existing issues so that team members can login and fill them out?

Hi Levi,

These two custom fields should already be on the old issues, but since they don't have any value, they are not displayed on the View Issue screen.

I believe you will find the fields if you edit one of the old issues, and the field will be displayed successfully after you added a value.

Hope this helps,

Marcus

Thanks that did the trick. Seems obvious now.
