Can I add custom user properties in JIRA cloud?

[Ioana Grozav]

There's nothing to indicate that I could do it in cloud, but it seems to be possible in jira server: https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver073/create-edit-or-remove-a-user-861253174.html

Maybe this will help others:

I have learned that actually, this was not what I needed(I'm trying to create an addon) - because this cannot be retrieved using the REST API.

What I actually have to use is the entity propeties, more details here: https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/storing-data-without-a-database/

Hello,

You can add User Properties in Cloud. Go to User Management and choose the required user. Then select the Edit Jira Properties menu:

Thanks! That's some terrible UX, though >.<

Hi Alexey,

I can not find 'Edit Jira Properties' in User Management now. Seems it was reworked for/because of User Privacy settings.

Is user properties UI still valid? 
I can create issue custom field 
"schema": {"custom": "com.atlassian.jira.toolkit:userproperty"}

I can show it against issue with Default Field = reporter:TeamLead

but can not find UI for previously set TeamLead field for user.

Could you point me where is it now? 

Thank you.

What is the intention of editing a user's properties?
