Custom Field - Configuration scheme label

[Derrick L]

When creating a new context, I need to fill out the Configuration scheme label. What is this for and how is it used?

Hello @Derrick L 

As per the documentation:

https://support.atlassian.com/jira-cloud-administration/docs/add-a-context-to-a-custom-field/

"4. Enter a label and description for your new context. These are used for your reference in the administration section only and will not be shown to your end-users."

It's a name for your humans to get a handle on it.

Some of us ask for consistent naming conventions, like including the project or project groups it is intended for, or something else that briefly explains it.  I personally usually go for a human short description and include the Jira issue key for the admin request that lead to me creating the new configuration scheme.

But that's entirely up to you - all I'd say is "think of the admin who is going to get asked to amend it after you've left"
