Add, edit, or remove field tabs from a work type
You can arrange fields in custom tabs to save space on work items. Fields in the first default tab are shown directly on work items, whilst any other tabs added will appear where description fields display.
To add, edit, or remove field tabs, you must be a Jira admin and will need to edit the screen associated with the work type.
Editing the screen of a work type impacts all other work types using that screen. As a result, this also affects every request type associated with a work type whose screen was edited.
To add, edit, or remove field tabs on a work type screen:
From your service project, select Project settings, then Request management, then Work types.
Select the work type you want to update.
Select Fields in the top right corner.
Select a tab, or select Add Tab to create a new one.
Select the pencil icon to edit the name of the tab.
Add, reorder, or remove fields from the field tab, or select the cross icon to remove the tab completely.
Once you have multiple tabs configured, they’ll appear in all request types associated with this work type.
