In Jira, is there a way for administrators to identify unused custom fields?

[Andrew Zimmerman]

As an administrator, is there a way I can query for custom fields that do not have a value populated anywhere in our Jira instance?

For example, it would be great if I had a way to quickly see the number of tickets that have a "not EMPTY" value for every custom field at a high level, so I can quickly find the ones that have 0 tickets with not EMPTY values.

I'm working on cleaning up custom fields in our instance and searching for a quicker way of discovering this information besides querying each field for "Custom Field Name" is NOT EMPTY in the issue navigator.

Thanks for any ideas or administrative clean up tips that might help me here.

There is a plugin named Power Admin which is totally free which helps administrators to overcome roadblocks in their activities like clean up unused fields, integrity error checking and so on.Please find the below link to get more idea on this plugin,
