Updating custom field description does not update field description on field configuration

XMLWordPrintable

      NOTE: This bug report is for JIRA Server. Using JIRA Cloud? See the corresponding bug report.

      Summary

      When updating a custom fields description, it seems logical that this description would update every place that custom field is used. This is not the case.

      Environment

      Jira Server/Data Center on any version from 7.0.0

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Create a new custom field
      2. Add a description to the field
      3. Add this custom field to a field configuration
      4. Update the description of the custom field on the custom fields page
      5. Look at the custom field on the field configuration

      Expected Results

      The description of the custom field on the field configuration should be updated to match the changes made on the custom fields page

      Actual Results

      The custom field description on the field configuration retains the original description if there is one.

      Workaround

      The user will need to update the description of the respective field on the field configuration the field is being used on
