Fields

The Fields tab displays a list of all of the fields, both native and custom, that exists in your Jira instance for classic-based projects only. It also contains additional columns of information that will assist Jira Administrators with knowing their exact purpose and usage in the instance.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Due to current the limitations of the Atlassian REST API, the list of fields will not include fields used on next-gen projects—only classic workflows.

Columns

  • Field ID: Displays the ID of each returned field.

  • Field Name: Displays the name of the native/custom field.

  • Field Type: Displays the name of the type of custom field. For example, Due Date would be of type datetime.

  • Custom Field: A true/false flag that informs the Jira Administrator if the field is native or custom.

  • Searchable: A true/false flag that shows if the field can be used in searches or not.

  • Navigable: A true/false flag that informs the Jira Administrator if the field is navigable or not.

  • Orderable: A true/false flag that informs the Jira Administrator if the field can be used in ordering operations or not.

Details Area

  • Clause Name: Display the clause name of the field.
