Add or remove fields from your plan
This page refers to the advanced planning features that are only available as part of Jira Cloud Premium and Enterprise.
Users need Plan administrator permissions to add fields to a plan.
Along with the columns available by default in your plan, you can also show associated fields from any of your plan’s work sources.
To add columns to your plan based on fields from your work sources:
Next to your plan’s name in the sidebar, select More actions (•••), then Plan settings.
Select Timeline, then add a field on the table labeled Fields added on the timeline.
Use Add fields to select the field you want to add, then select Add to finalize your choice.
Remove fields from your plan using the icon on this page. When you remove it, any unsaved changes to this field are discarded.
You can’t remove a field that’s being used to schedule work items in your plan. First, you’ll need to select a different date field in Plan settings.
Field association with spaces and work types
To display and edit a field in your plan, the field must be associated with both the space and the work type. You can manage these associations in Jira by updating your field configurations and field configuration schemes.
Fields in team-managed spaces can only be used for work items within the same space. Read more about team-managed space limitations in plans
To check which fields are available for your plan:
Next to your plan’s name in the sidebar, select More actions (), then Plan settings.
Select Timeline.
Look for the column called Applies to work items in. This shows the number of spaces available for each field.
Select the number in this column to see a list of spaces where the field is available.
If a field isn’t available for a space, it will appear as disabled in your plan and you won’t be able to edit it. When you hover over a disabled field, you’ll see a tooltip with one of the following explanations:
“This field has not been associated with this space” - This means the field isn’t included in the field configuration scheme used by the space.
“This field is not used in this space for this work type” - This means the field isn’t available for the specific work type in the space’s field configuration scheme.
To make a field available, you’ll need to update the field configuration.
