Is there a way to rename a custom field? So there user created field called "Touchdown". It has a configuration and sub fields (I'm not interested in changing these). It seems every article I find tells how to change the configured values for the field or talks about risks in changing out of the box fields that come with Jira. Is there a way for me to change "Touchdown" to "Field Goal" as the custom field name? Thanks
If you have admin rights, just go to Administration > Issues > Custom Fields and then select to edit the Touchdown field. https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiracloud/adding-editing-and-deleting-a-custom-field-776636410.html
Thank you Mikael. You know, like so many other people asking questions, it seems so simple! I cant believe in the 45 minutes I played around looking for this I could not find it. Thank you again - appreciate the help.

I just wanted to update - there's a new article specifically for Editing and Deleting Custom fields

Wanted to share since I was stuck on deleting and renaming a custom field, and the original article had been changed since Mikael's post

@Mikael Sandberg do you know if changing the name of the options in a drop down list custom field would somehow mess up with the records that have that value?

@Ivan Rubio renaming the values in a select field will affect existing issues. If you do not want to do that then you can disable the existing value and add a new one, that way the user can then select to change it later if needed.

@Mikael Sandberg I've done what Ivan suggested. I have renamed an option of my select custom field. My existing issues are affected which is great!
Now the issue that I have is that filtering does not work with the value updated.
Detailed issue is here https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-questions/Update-select-option-of-CF-breaks-the-search/qaq-p/2860973#U2860977
Do you by any chance have an idea of what I am doing wrong ?
Thanks
