how to create custom field at Project Level in JIRA

[Parul Budhiraja]

How can I create a custom field at Project Level, so that whole projects can be distinguished by a particular field

Hi @Parul Budhiraja 

There is an option to include fields to project level using Profields:

Also, You will be able to search and order your projects by any other field.

You do not.

Custom fields only exist at the issue level.  Projects do not have fields you can add to, just a standard set of system fields - name, lead, key, category and description.

You can distinguish between projects on their name or key, you don't need extra fields to do that.  Category can be used to group projects together as well (slight weakness in that a project can only have one category).

If you want project-level fields, then you'll need an App to provide them - I don't actually know if there are others that do it, I've always reached for "Profields" any time there's any need for them.

Thanks for recommend us @Nic Brough -Adaptavist- !

the only OOTB offering is Project Category. I assume that will not meet your needs?

@Parul BudhirajaWelcome

In Jira there is a concept of Field Configuration Schema, if you are using a field only in one field schema and you are using that field schema in only project (and for all issue type in that project) you can accomplish what you wanted.

You can learn about field schema here - https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiracloud/issue-field-configurations-844500794.html
