Issue fields are now generally available for all GitHub organizations on Free, Team, Enterprise, and GitHub Enterprise Cloud with data residency plans and will ship in GitHub Enterprise Server 3.23. Issue fields bring structured, typed metadata to issues, making it easy to track priority, effort, dates, and custom values consistently across your organization.
Since public preview in May, more than 40,000 organizations have adopted issue fields to add structured metadata that’s searchable, reportable, and consistent across every repository.
What’s new since public preview:
Issue fields on the issues list: Field values now appear directly on the repository issues list, so you can scan priority, effort, and other metadata at a glance without opening each issue.
Public project support: Issue fields now work in public projects, with visibility controls so organizations can decide which fields are visible to nonmembers. Logged-out users can also see public fields.
