What does the orange triangle with an exclamation point next to a field on a screen mean?

I saw this when I went into config the fields on a new screen.

I figured it out. The fields with the triangle indicate that even though they show up in the configuration for the screen, they are NOT tied to the project. I had to go to each field's context and add the project to it. That made it visible on the screen and eliminated the triangle with exclamation point.

Right @Steve Hooczko , Context defines where (which projects and issue types) a custom field is available and how it behaves (e.g., options for select lists). You can have multiple contexts for a single custom field, each with different configurations for different projects/issue types. If a custom field’s context does not include the project/issue type, it will not appear on the issue screen, even if added to the screen configuration.

Can you provide a full screen image of what you are seeing?
