Fix Versions field not available for new or added issue types

In Jira Cloud, I have a Team Managed software project, with the Releases feature enabled. The project was created in 2020, but we set it aside for a while, and just started development again.

For some reason, we never added Bug as an issue type. We went to Project Settings / Issue Types and added Bug as suggested.

When trying to configure fields for the Bug type, the Fix Versions field is not available. That is, it doesn't appear on the Context Fields list initially, and "Search all fields" can't find it.

However, Fix Versions appears on the existing Story, Task, and Epic types in this project and all other existing Issue types in all other existing projects.

Investigation shows that Fix Versions is not available for _any new issue types in any  Team Managed projects_, no matter when we created them. Note that _all_ projects' _existing_ issue types have this field.

In Jira Settings / Issues / Field Configuration, in the Default Field Configuration, the Fix Versions field exists and is on the Default Screen. In Field Configuration Schemes, However, the Default Field Configuration only appears to be shared by projects we created before 2021.

Has there been a change to the Team Managed Software Projects that deleted the Fix Versions field?
