When creating an issue in JIRA where multiple field configurations schemes are used, when switching from one project to another the attributes of the original project/issue type for field configurations are not releasing to the new field configuration for the new project/issue type. I have found that I need to refresh the screen to get the changes to take. I have seen this in a couple different instances.

Scenario #1: Field config scheme for issue type "Benchmark Target" has a short java code in the description of the summary field which renders text in the summary field. It is specific to this field configuration, applied only to this issue type. When switching from the project this issue is in to another project and another issue type, the java code persists and the string of text is rendered in the summary field. However if I refresh the create issue window, it goes away.

Scenario #2: Pretty much the reverse of this, when moving to the project with the java code in the description for Summary in its field config, the code does not come up because the create issue is still attached to the old projects field configuration. If I refresh, then the Summary field string of text appears from the description based java code.

It appears that when switching from project to project in the create issue window, there is not a clean break from the old field configuration scheme to the new one. Even when the issue types are not the same in each project.
