Migrate values from a project field to a global field
To replace an existing project field with a new global field, you can copy its values into the new global field. When copying a project field value, the different values added to a field will be copied into the new global field across all ideas for this project.
Before you begin
You must be a project admin to copy field values to global fields.
You can copy values between two fields of the same type.
The global field needs to be added to the project.
Steps
In your discovery project, go to Project settings > Fields.
Select an existing project field and click , or create a new field.
Once you've selected the field you want to copy into a global field, go to the bottom of the field panel and click Copy values.
Select the global field where you want to copy the values or create a new one, and then click Copy values. You can now see values under the global field for all ideas under this project.
Tip
Once you have copied values and your global field has been populated, you can replace your project field with the global field in your views. You can then eventually retire the project field to avoid confusion.
Remove fields from a project
Before you begin
Beware that removing fields from a project might impact views:
When a project field is deleted, values get lost.
If you remove (not delete) a global field from the project, it still exists at the site level and in other projects.
System fields cannot be deleted nor removed, only be hidden in views.
Steps
In your discovery project, go to Project settings > Fields > Project.
Select the field you want to delete and confirm the action.
Hide system fields
Project admins can now hide system fields that aren’t in use in their Jira Product Discovery projects.
To hide system fields:
Select Project settings > Fields.
Pick a system field of your choice and then click
Click (eye) icon > Hide.
