Jira sites often carry many custom fields that do not matter for your work.

JirAI lets you hide custom fields from the details tab at three scopes:

In All Projects
: Hides the field for every project on the Jira site.

In Project
: Hides the field for one project.

In Issue
: Hides the field for one issue.

Hiding a field affects only what JirAI shows in the IDE; the field and its value stay in Jira.

## Hide one field

Procedure: Hide a custom field

1. In the issue details tab, click the eye icon on the custom field row.

2. In the Hide Field popup, choose In All Projects, In Project: DEMO or In Issue: DEMO-123.

## Hide several fields at once

Procedure: Hide several custom fields

1. Right-click the issue details tab, on empty space or on a field name, and choose Hide Fields….

2. In the Hide Fields dialog, select the fields to hide.

Type in the Filter fields box to narrow the list, and use All or Clear to change the selection.

3. Click the button for the scope you want, for example Hide 2 in Project: DEMO.

The Manage hidden fields… link in the dialog opens the Field Visibility settings page.

## Review and unhide fields

The `Settings | Tools | JirAI | Field Visibility` page lists every hidden-field rule, with its Field Name, Field ID, Site, Scope and Target.

Procedure: Unhide a field

1. Open `Settings | Tools | JirAI | Field Visibility`.

2. Select one or more rules and click −.

3. Click OK or Apply.

Procedure: Add a rule by hand

1. On the Field Visibility page, click +.

2. In the Add Hidden Field Rule dialog, fill in the fields:

Site
: The Jira site address, for example `https://demo-org.atlassian.net`.

Field name
: A name shown in the table only.

Field ID
: The field ID the rule matches, for example `customfield_10020`.

Scope
: All projects, one project or one issue.

Target
: The project key or issue key; empty for all projects.

3. Click OK.

Rules match on the field ID within one Jira site.

Hidden-field rules are stored in the IDE, not in your project, so they apply to every project you open.
