Fields

About this Page

This feature is a Site Optimization tool that scans your Jira instance and provides a complete list of all configured custom fields. It analyzes each field to determine if it is unused and can be safely deleted.

What is the use case?

Use this to identify and clean up "orphaned" or legacy custom fields that are not associated with any screens or project contexts. This simplifies your Jira configuration, reduces clutter, and can improve instance performance.

This feature is applicable to:
