Field Editing Error

If a field is supported by Structure but cannot be edited for some reason, you will receive an error message. This typically occurs because:

  • You do not have edit access to the work item, project, or field

  • The field has not been added to the appropriate screen

  • The field has been deleted or cannot be found

For more information, speak with your Jira administrator.
