What is best way to add same set of Fields mutiple time in JIRA 5.2?

[Jayant Bhoge]

I have a set of 4 fields which I want to replicate for 5 times on the same Tab.

Is there any best way to achieve it rather than created 4 fields - 5 times for this tab?

Thanks

No, you can only display a field once on a view screen.  If you want to repeat a field, you need to hack the core of JIRA to enable it.

Also, don't do it.  Humans get very confused and upset when you do this.  If you have a field that appears on tab 1 and then on tab 4, a human might change it in tab 1, move on to tab 4 and change it again, thinking it's something else, because it's on a different tab. Then complain that it's lost the data they put in tab 1.  Seriously, software that does this is broken.

That's really painful.

No, there is now way, only manual work. JIRA has some problems with this stuff, there is also a painfull problem with making a project copy
