Special Considerations when adding a Custom Field
When adding a custom field, much consideration must be placed on the visibility of the custom field with:
- Screens
- Screen Schemes
- Issue Types
- Workflows
Important tips
- Please set the visibility of the custom field to be only for the project(s) that will use it - otherwise, it will show up for all users in screens like the bulk change of tasks logic.
- Please name the field to be related to its data or use (e.g. "Priority") rather than the project (e.g. "Bursar Priority") to allow for reuse.
- If a similar field already exists, please re-use it rather than creating a new one (even if the name is not identical) to keep field use manageable.
