There are two ways you can access a custom field to edit its configuration after it has been created: 

1. From the **My custom fields** page of JMCF Administration, click **Action** :menu_button: and select **Edit**. Update the name and description, add or remove projects and issue types, add or remove screens, and update the JMCF configurations described below.
2. From the Jira **Custom fields** administration page, click **Action** :menu_button: and select an option:
  1. **Edit details** - Update the **Field Name**, **Description**, and **Search Template** for the field.
  2. **Contexts and default value** - Add or remove contexts for the field. Additionally, configure the **Default Value** and access the **Custom field config** to set the JMCF configurations described below.
  3. **Translation and options** - Set the language in **Choose Language**, then enter the **Field Name** and **Description** for that language.
  4. **Associate to Screens** - Add or remove Jira screens on which the field will appear.
  5. **Move to Trash** - Remove the custom field from all screens and move it to the Trash.

> ⚠️ Custom fields can be recovered from the Trash for 60 days. After 60 days, the field will be **deleted permanently** and cannot be recovered!
