Hi All
I am trying to create a team-managed-project and wanted to add 2-3 custom fields to the project creation. Is it possible to add and how. help required.
Hi Pradheep
Thank you for reaching our community.
There is no option to create a custom field while creating the project.
If you already created a project, with a configuration you would like to mirror in a new one, you can tick the box Share settings with an existing project while creating a new project
Be aware that this option is only available for Company Managment projects.
More about it can be found here
Hope that helps
thanks for the clarification.
But if I wanted to track few attributes on the project level, how do I track in Jira.

Hi Pradheep,
I hope you are doing well.
The short answer is no, you cannot add custom fields during the initial project creation in a team-managed project. However, adding custom fields afterward is straightforward and can be done directly through the project settings. This flexibility allows you to tailor the project to fit your team's specific needs.
Here's how you can add custom fields to your team-managed project:
Project settings
on the left sidebar.Issue types
.Add a field
.Create new field
, choose the field type, and enter a name.This will allow you to customize your project according to your requirements.

Hi Cristian
thanks for your response, but my question is on how do I have the custom fields "Country", "State" while creating a new project in Jira. Hope this is clear on the ask.
while creating a new project it asks for Name, Key, Category, Project Lead, and default assignee. I will need to select Country, State as new fields which is not appearing.
I am aware that issue types can have custom fields added.

I'm not aware of any method to add such input fields at the project level during project creation.
It is possible to define Project Properties after project creation, through an API though.

I recently learned of a third party app that might help you.

I've never used it, but it does appear to provide a method to add fields at a Project level. It may not allow you to define them as part of the process of creating the project, though.

You must go into your project settings to find the issue types option and when you go into this option on the right side of the screen there will be some field options for you to create.

This will hold good for the custom fields for the issues. but my need is to create custom fields while a creating project.
while creating project it asks for Name, Key, CAtegory, Project Lead, and default assignee.
I will have to add Country, State, City fields while creating project.

my intention of having 2 custom fields while creating a project is never met. requesting all to explore and provide me with the option since my tracking is highly in need of a tracking metric project wise.

We encounter the same challenge.
While creating a project we would like to be able to add an additional (custom) field to store and later on benchmark the customers weekly budget in hours. e.g. 24h a week max.
By using a custom report comparing actual hours spent a week against max hours entered during project creation would give us an insight on budget against actual needs.
