Configure a field configuration scheme
As a Jira administrator, you can more easily manage your field configurations by associating field configurations with issue types within a field configuration scheme. You can then associate the field configuration scheme with a project.
To configure the layout of the new Jira issue view—which fields appear and the order they appear in—open an issue and choose Configure at the bottom-right. To find out more about configuring the issue layout, check out Configure field layout in the issue view.
How to associate an issue type with a field configuration
Select > Issues.
In the Fields section, click Field configuration schemes.
Find the field configuration scheme and click Configure.
Click Associate an issue type with a field configuration and choose the issue type and field configuration you would like to associate with this scheme.
Click Add.
An issue type can only be associated with one field configuration within a field configuration scheme.
