      Atlassian Update – Aug 2025

      Hey everyone,

      As you may have noticed we've started shipping a bunch of changes to how you configure fields in Jira, and are continuing to do so for the coming months. This foundational work will enable us to work on this suggestion - but we ask for your understanding as we will need to complete that work before we commence on this suggestion. 

      There'll be opportunities to be involved so please continue to reach out.

      Regards,

      Carol & the Atlassian team

      Update on Mar 2025:

      Hey everyone,

      The team has started on the foundational/refactoring work that needs to be done ahead of enabling this feature - as you know, contexts have existed for many years and we need to do a bit of a clean-up in order to support this feature properly. In short, this change is more complex than simply enabling additional contexts, and may take longer to resolve. 

      We estimate that the foundational work will take us until the Q3 of this year, and comes with some pretty big UI changes. If you are keen to be involved in user testing and giving us feedback, please email me at clow@atlassian.com. Please note the research may not include this feature yet.

      Regards

      Carol & the Atlassian team

      In the custom field configuration context, it is not possible to choose a project if it has already been associated to another configuration context of the same custom field. For instance, it is not possible to make the following associations:

      Task, project1, configuration context 1
      Task, project2, configuration context 2
      Bug, project1, configuration context 3
      Bug, project2, configuration context 4
