Hello @DHARMARAJAN JEYAKUMAR 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

Based on the images you provided, you are using Jira Server/Data Center, not Jira Cloud.

The field you have highlighted appears to be a custom field created by your Jira Administrators 

The method for adding selectable values for that field depend on the field type.

Are you a Jira Application Administrator or Jira System Administrator? If not, you will have to contact your Administrators to get that information. And it may turn out that values can be added only by Administrators.

Noted your points. It looks like I'm only the Application Administrator and so don't have rights to edit this field. I've escalated this issue to the System Administrator. Thank you.

Hi @DHARMARAJAN JEYAKUMAR  and welcome to the community.

I am on Cloud but if I remember correctly the steps are the same for Server/Data center

1. Click on the cog in the upper right corner and choose Work item
2. Go to Custom fields in the left menu and look up the field you want to change
3. Click on the dots on the right hand side and go to Contexts and default value
4. Click on Edit options and add the value you want use in the custom field.

Be aware that context list can be defined to be project specific so if the value is available in another project but not in yours you have to add your project to the context.

And as @Trudy Claspill  mentions you need to be a Jira-adminstrator to be able to modify the custom fields.
