Default fields for problem requests

Jira Service Management allows you to customize the information collected from customers and used by your agents by using issue type fields and screens. Fields help agents investigate, assess, and categorize the problems for reporting or querying.

By default, we include the following fields in your agents' view of a problem. If needed, you can add custom fields.
