The configuration process mirrors that of the main application fields. Refer to our main application documentation for Search Fields. Below, we highlight the key differences for the extension field.

Extension Field Differences:

  • Extension fields are tied to their respective custom field types.

  • You manage the appearance of extension fields within Jira like any other custom field, without configuring context or display conditions in the apps field configuration.
