Hello,
You can add your own custom field in Jira.

You must be a Jira administrator to do it.
If you are on Jira cloud and you have a next-gen project, then go to project settings -> issue types and add a custom field there. You must be the Project administrator
You must be a registered user to add a comment. If you've already registered, sign in. Otherwise, register and sign in.
