Welcome to Field Governance for Jira
Dynamic field control. Smarter governance. Cleaner Jira.
Welcome
Field Governance helps Jira administrators dynamically control field visibility, editability, and required behavior โ based on users, groups, project roles, projects, issue types, and screens. Built on Atlassian Forge, it enables organizations to implement scalable governance policies without complex Jira customizations or scripting.
What You Can Do
๐ Hide Fields
Control which users or roles can view specific Jira fields. Keep sensitive data visible only to those who need it.
โ Required Fields
Ensure mandatory information is always captured before issue transitions or updates. Enforce compliance at the field level.
๐ Read-Only Fields
Prevent unauthorized users from modifying important fields. Protect critical data from accidental or unauthorized changes.
Role-Based Governance
Apply governance rules using Jira project roles and groups. Tailor field behavior to match your organizational structure.
Project & Issue Type Scoping
Configure governance behavior for specific projects and issue types. No more one-size-fits-all field configurations.
Screen-Level Controls
Apply rules separately for Create and Edit screens. Fine-tune the user experience at every stage of the workflow.
Why Field Governance?
The Problem
Jira's native field configurations are static and limited in flexibility. Administrators struggle with complex schemes, scattered configurations, and no way to dynamically control field behavior based on user context.
The Solution
Field Governance introduces dynamic field behavior based on contextual access controls โ helping organizations implement stronger governance, cleaner issue management, and a simplified user experience across teams.
