There still old UI on some steps, which leads to unnecessary extra actions or misleading UI controls. People who used to work with previous UIs can handle this, newcomers will definitely struggle to fine-tune their fields.
to edit simple field options you have to click through 3 UI generations
I would love an export of all of the custom field information so we can do routine cleanup and align on the fields we are using. This is very helpful when merging Jira instances.
Are the adjustments to the custom fields and workflow editor a sign that leads towards being able to do proper configuration management through IaC-tools such as Terraform?

Hey all,
Things have been busy on my end so this response is delayed - sorry for any inconvenience.
First some general responses:
To everyone asking for an export - we hear you loud and clear, please know that I have taken note of it, every comment helps us!
Field merging/consolidation/clean-up/prevention - we also hear you! We have changes in our backlog planned to ease this pain. Just to be transparent though, merging is complex given all the places fields are used, especially if they are being referenced through APIs and Apps outside of our visibility.
@Piotr_Śmiałek_Deviniti - support for these field types are now available. Not all features go through Jira labs and this wasn't considered a beta release, but I understand that the ability to find the field types was not ideal and it would have helped (in hindsight).
@s.weber - are you on the new experience now? Are you on bundled release tracks by any chance?
@Haddon Fisher - appreciate the spicy take and I understand about smaller screens. From our analytics it showed most people use large screens in admin (but that could easily be because otherwise it would all be crammed) - we're actively exploring the best way to handle field editing for complex field types, where a side panel would be limiting.
@Bryan Morenc - Unfortunately that's not part of this initiative - hopefully support comes soon!
@Alexey - Simple field options editing is something we are working on soon. Thank you for your patience, we didn't want to wait until everything was done to share the goodness, but it does mean some parts are still legacy experiences.
