For custom fields that exist in Jira more broadly; Jira Work Management currently only supports a limited set of custom field types at the moment.
In addition to the default fields that exist in your project, you can create other fields you’d like to include in your project.
Users can create fields in two ways:
In company-managed projects, Jira admins will create fields in their settings.
In team-managed projects, they can do the above plus create fields while on list view.
