Jira Admin Helper
The Jira Admin Helper is a free, bundled plugin that Jira Administrators can use to answer questions such as:
- Why isn’t my field showing up on view/edit/create screens?
- Why can/can’t a user see a certain issue?
- Why did/didn’t a user get a certain email notification?
Field Helper
You can use the Field Helper to help you determine why a custom or a system field is not appearing on a specific screen. Click the Where is my field? link on the create, edit, and view issues pages, as well as the issue navigator, to access the Field Helper.
You can then search for the field name to learn which projects and issue types may need to be updated.
