Tabs Visibility

This page provides information on how to configure Tabs Visibility.

Tabs Visibility Control custom field allows to hide or display screen tabs based on the selected value in a related field. Tabs Visibility connects the related field with visibility settings.

Info

To set a configuration, log in as a user with Jira Administrators global permission.

This functionality doesn’t clear data but hides instead. If some values are filled in a tab that is hidden, they can still be found (for example with JQL). When there are two fields associated with one tab, the configuration won’t work properly on the Issue View screen. Only the rule for the field that is lower in order will be applied.
