Field Types Tab

The Field Types tab contains a list of available field types in your instance. When you create a new field, you are prompted to select the field type from this list. Each type has a name, key, description, provider, category, and access. A field provider is an app that provides functionality for this field type. Apps can be supplied by third-party developers, or they can be embedded in Jira, depending on the package (Core/Software/Service Desk/Ops). For example, the Custom Field Types & Searchers provider is in all packages, while the JIRA Agile provider is only in Jira Software.

If the Field Type is provided by a third-party app, it will not be available when the app is deleted.
