How to add new categories for ideas

[David Huffman]

When organizing ideas, I want to group them by category. The default provides two categories as examples. However, I want to add, edit, or remove categories as needed. How do I edit categories?

Hi @David Huffman! Do you see the edit field button when you're clicked into the Categories field?

If you don't see that, I wonder if you might not have the right set of permissions. Only creators can edit the fields. See the following for more info on roles in JPD: https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/product-discovery/guides/getting-started/user-roles-permissions
