Feature Request: Make Summary Field more flexible

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    • We collect Jira feedback from various sources, and we evaluate what we've collected when planning our product roadmap. To understand how this piece of feedback will be reviewed, see our Implementation of New Features Policy.

    Description

      This is a feature request for the ability to re-name the summary field "Summary" field. The key attributes are:

      • To be able to do this without a restart of the server
      • To be able to do this for each Field Configuration Scheme with a different name (each project can call it something different)

      I am aware that you can do this (http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Customizing+text) however, this work-around has the following limitations/issues:

      • Requires an outage
      • Must apply to all projects

      Business benefit:
      We have had several customers who user Jira for internal workflows to re-name the summary field. Each customer would refer to the summary field, as something different (eg Project Name, Summary, High-level overview....etc...). For those that might not be using Jira just for software development, want to be able to re-name that field to other things (specific to their project)
