Chapter 7: Managing Fields, Screens, and Issue Layouts

This chapter covers the creation and basic functions of custom fields and the types of fields that can be created. We will also explore what screens are automatically created when a new JWM project is created. And then, we'll see how to add custom fields to the screens.
We will discuss issue layouts, the different sections of the issue screen, and how to rearrange fields on a screen. This chapter also covers custom field contexts and how to limit the display of fields on screens based on the combination of projects and issue types.
