Hi @Radhika Shinde 

I can't say I 100% understood your post but I think you can start with the below code.

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor 
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.CustomFieldManager 
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.CustomField 
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.screen.FieldScreen 
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.screen.FieldScreenTab 
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.screen.FieldScreenScheme 
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.screen.FieldScreenSchemeManager 
import com.atlassian.jira.util.ErrorCollection 

CustomFieldManager customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager() 
CustomField customField = // your custom field to add to the screen 

FieldScreenSchemeManager fieldScreenSchemeManager = ComponentAccessor.getComponent(FieldScreenSchemeManager.class) 
FieldScreen fieldScreen = fieldScreenSchemeManager.getFieldScreen(FieldScreen.DEFAULT_SCREEN_ID) 
// Get field screen tab (assuming you have only one tab or add to the default tab)
FieldScreenTab fieldScreenTab = fieldScreen.getTab(0) 
// Add custom field to field screen tab 
fieldScreenTab.addFieldScreenLayoutItem(customField.getId()) 
// Update field screen 
fieldScreenSchemeManager.updateFieldScreen(fieldScreen) 

List<FieldScreenScheme> fieldScreenSchemes = fieldScreenSchemeManager.getFieldScreenSchemes() 
// add custom field to each scheme 
for (FieldScreenScheme scheme : fieldScreenSchemes) { 
   scheme.addFieldScreen(fieldScreen) 
   ErrorCollection errorCollection = fieldScreenSchemeManager.updateFieldScreenScheme(scheme) 
   if (errorCollection.hasAnyErrors()) { 
      log.error("Error adding custom field to field screen scheme: " + errorCollection.getErrorMessages()) 
   } 
}

Hello @Tuncay Senturk _Snapbytes_ ,

Check your code once. I don't think this is a right code.

Hi @Bhakti Prasad Panda 

Thanks for your message, why do you think it is not the right code?

Hello @Tuncay Senturk _Snapbytes_ ,

Please put the code in script console of scriptrunner. It will show you the errors.

We are using Jira 9.4.7 and i hope you're using the same so if you can refer below Java APIs, you won't find the methods (you've used in your code) in the article:

https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/9.4.7/com/atlassian/jira/issue/fields/screen/FieldScreenSchemeManager.html

The methods are available in FieldScreenManager i suppose:

https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/9.4.7/com/atlassian/jira/issue/fields/screen/FieldScreenManager.html

I would be glad too if i am wrong in here :) but just got this observation.

Yes, you are right, this is quite old version I suppose. They (FieldScreenSchemeManager) need to be changed (to FieldScreenManager)
