Field Type: VIRTUAL fields are a special type of field that are rendered in real-time and differ from NATIVE customfields. Please note that even if a virtual field targets a native customfield, it does not inherit the behavior of the native customfield. As a result, adding the target field alone to screens will not produce the desired outcome. To ensure correct functionality, virtual fields must be explicitly placed in the field configuration.
Field Context: RESTRICTED for the Search Field indicates that field contexts apply exclusively to the target field, not its virtual components.
Dashboard Usage: RESTRICTED for the Search Field indicates that dashboard usage is limited to the target field value, excluding option selection typically found in native Jira select-lists.
Field Option Sync: RESTRICTED indicates that you can not target customfield of a team managed project directly, but you can now use global custom fields in team managed project.
