Is it possible to add a custom field context to a Project Category ?

[Heiko Klump]

I can add

Projects (All | List) to a context

and

Issue Types (All | List)

but no

Project Category.

This will be very helpfull creating a new project with this category i can't forget to associate this custom field to thr new project

Unfortunately no, only specific projects.

If you have ScriptRunner then it does automatically associate the context from the template project, but Jira does not do it. There are some other workarounds like exporting/importing the project as new, or writing groovy code to add the new project to contexts, etc., but all in all just to say nothing out of box other than doing it manually.

Tracked on Atlassian here: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRASERVER-69398

Hi Heiko.

I get the issue, but the short answer is no that is not possible.

As you have a server deployment, you can't expect it to be possible as Atlassian is retiring the server platform in february.

If you have scriptrunner, you could use the copy project function as it adds the newly project to the context the original project is belonging to.

The project category field is not an issue field.

The whole reason it exists is so that you can ask the global question "show me all issues in this category", having issue contexts for it would render it completely useless for what it is designed for.
