Question

I have created a custom field. It is a drop-down (data type) with four options to pick from. The "All Projects" checkbox is not selected. I have only one project selected in our list of projects.

When I go to an existing issue/case in a different project (i.e. where the field is not available) and edit the issue, a comment shows up setting the custom field value (to the default value in the drop-down). See example below:

CustomField changed from (No Value) to 'TestValue'

I really don't want this to show up in other projects every time an issue is edited because it will be confusing to users. Am I doing something wrong?

What I want is to create custom fields for some specific projects. I don't want there to be any reference/mention of these fields in the projects they are not specified for.

Answer 1

That's definitely a bug. Thanks for reporting it!

I've created a case to have this looked at and will update this question when it's been addressed.

Answer 2

I have 30+ custom fields with most of them assigned to different projects, and seeing the same problem as OP. When editing cases prior to creating these custom fields, I get 25+ lines of useless info.

Any update on when the fix is going to be available? Thanks.
