In order to add a field to the Issue View screen (which might be the same as Edit and Create screens) directly from the Old Issue View page, please follow the steps:

  • Open an issue page (make sure it is an Old Issue view)
    ?oldIssueView=true URL suffix forces Jira to show the issue in Old view, e.g., https://gebsun-support.atlassian.net/browse/IC-159?oldIssueView=true

  • Expand the Admin dropdown and click Add field option as presented below



  • The dropdown with list of available fields pops up. Select the field that you want to add to the Issue View, e.g., Checklist Content YAML or Checklist Text:
