In this chapter, we looked at fields in JIRA. We also looked at how JIRA is able to extend its ability to capture user data through custom fields. We explored how we can specify different behavior for fields under different contexts through the use of field configurations and schemes.

In the next chapter, we will expand on what we learned about fields by formally introducing you to screens, and how combining fields and screens provide users with the most natural and logical forms to assist them in creating and logging issues.
