Fields tab
The Fields tab allows you to review the use of custom fields in various Jira configuration objects, as well as get additional information about the fields themselves. The list of fields is displayed as a table with custom columns. Here is a list of all the columns (columns marked with asterisks are hidden by default):
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| ID* | Field identifier. |
| Name | Field name. |
| Type | Field type name. |
| Type Key* | Field type key. |
| Type Provider* | Field type provider. If the field type is provided by a third-party app, the name of that app will be shown here. |
| Search Template* | Search templates are responsible for indexing a custom field, as well as making it searchable via Simple Search and Advanced Search (note that custom fields are not searchable via Quick Search). Every custom field type has a preconfigured search template, but you may select a different template. |
| Index values | Number of issues in which this field has values stored in the search index. |
| DB values | Number of issues in which this field has values stored in the database. Hereinafter is a special stipulation about the database, as we consider that calculated fields do not store values and their Issues column will always be empty. |
| Screens | Number of screens that use this field. |
| Saved Filters | Number of saved filters that use this field. |
| Workflows | Number of workflows that use this field. |
| Dashboards | Number of dashboards that use this field. |
| Notification Schemes | Number of notification schemes that use this field. |
| Issue Security Schemes | Number of issue security schemes that use this field. |
| Permission Schemes | Number of permission schemes that use this field. |
| Webhooks | Number of webhooks that use this field. |
| Locked* | These fields are locked to prevent accidental changes that can subsequently break the operation of JIRA Software. |
You can filter and sort the table by almost any column. The table can be downloaded in CSV (comma separated) format.
