  • Minimum number of issues:

    • The minimum number of issues the custom field has values in for the custom field to be considered optimizable. This allows you to ignore custom fields that are intentionally global but appear to have a local scope simply because they are newer and have not been fully adopted yet.

    • The default is 50 issues

  • Maximum number of projects:

    • The maximum number of projects the custom field has values in for the custom field to be considered optimizable. This allows you to set the threshold at which custom fields are considered effectively global - it can be easier to manage custom fields with them having a global context instead of them having very large contexts with many projects.
