Add, edit, or remove field tabs from an issue type

You can arrange fields in custom tabs to save space in the issue view. Fields in the first default tab are shown directly on the issue view, whilst any other tabs added will appear where description fields display.

To add, edit, or remove field tabs, you must be a Jira admin and will need to edit the screen associated with the issue type.

1. From your service project, go to Project settings > Issue types.

2. Select the issue type you want to update.

3. Select Fields in the top right corner.

4. Select a tab, or select Add Tab to create a new one.

   1. Select the pencil icon to edit the name of the tab.

5. Add, reorder, or remove fields from the field tab, or select the cross icon to remove the tab completely.
