Rename Custom Fields by Project

[Michael Swansegar]

JIRA Service Desk is nice in that you can change the field name display to the customer.  However JIRA Core/JIRA Software shows the actual Custom Field name.  Is there a way to change the name that is displayed only without renaming the actual custom field itself?

Hi @Michael Swansegar,

@Alexey Matveev is right. But If you have Script Runner plugin, there is a trick that changes the display name for each project.

• Go to Behaviours and add new one
• Map this behaviour to your project
• Add a field that you want to change (Ex: Summary)
• Paste the following script

def field = getFieldById(getFieldChanged())
field.setLabel("My Custom Summary")

Behaviours do not apply to the View Issue screen, so this "solution" is not very useful.

Hello,

In Jira Core or Jira Software you can not change the display name for a custom field for each project. You would need to rename this custom field. But you can give a different description through field configuration schemes.

I don't find any way to change the description : the only description you can provide is the description of the field configuration, not the field itself. So unuseful too.
