Edit a field
The Fields page in the Jira admin panel provides a central location to edit all fields across your site, including both company-managed and team-managed fields.
Access the Fields page by selecting Settings () in the top navigation, then Work items. In the Fields section in the side navigation, select Fields.
On the Fields page, you can do the following:
Update field name and information
To update a field’s name and description, and to view the options that users can select on a work item, select More actions () then Edit field on any field on the page.
You can't edit fields made by Jira or an app.
Add a field to a screen
Team-managed fields can’t be added to a screen.
Instead of navigating to the Screens page, you can quickly add a field to an existing screen while viewing the field. More about screens
From the Fields page, select More actions () then Add field to screen on any field on the page that you can edit. This opens a new window in your browser.
Select the screen that you want to add the field to.
Select Update to save your changes.
Translate a field
You can translate the name and description of a field you create using Jira's pre-installed language packs.
To translate a field:
From the Fields page, select More actions () then Translate field on any field on the page that you can edit.
Choose a language, and enter the translated strings for the field name and description.
Select Update.
