In an issue, is there a way to add columns and then fields within those columns?

[Sunil Aggarwal]

I need to add a lot of fields and having them in one column on the right-hand side of the issue is just not practical. So I want to add multiple columns so I can add more fields in. Has anybody done this before or know how?

Also is there a way to add a title to the group of fields?

I'm not totally following the specifics and previous answer, but you can add tabs to a screen and use that to group related fields.  I added these two tabs as an illustration

Many thanks for your input.

@David Nickell I've run a quick test on the tabs solution and that is amazing!

There was another answer regarding the use of forms but it seems to have disappeared. Do you know if reports can be run on the contents of forms?

Hey @Sunil Aggarwal , 

That was my suggestion, I don't know what happened to it.. 

My idea was to add the fields you already have on your issues (all in the right column then) to specific internal forms to separate them. The benefit would be that it it possible to export these and add some texts to give context.
However, within Jira I like the idea of the tabs a lot more! 

Depending on your actual needs, you can't really report on forms specifically, but if you use actual jira issues on the forms you can still report on those if you want. 

Kind regards, 

Tessa
