Want to add a custom field to your Jira project? We may already have a field that works for your needs.

Step-by-step guide

  1. Before requesting a custom field, it is recommended that you search through the list of fields that already exist: there is a high probability that a field (with a set of values) meets your needs. Please see the list below to see if there is an existing field that you can use.


Atlassian recommends that the custom fields should be below 300 fields. We have over 2000 custom fields; anything we can do to consolidate and re-use existing fields is appreciated. Adding custom fields (especially at the numbers we have) negatively affects indexing and processing load on the system.
