Extending Jira User Profiles

You can extend the profile of your team members by adding user custom fields. The custom fields and their values are displayed on the Project Team tab next to the other user attributes.
The team members can set their values of these custom fields on the Project Team tab of a project. Also, the Project Lead of a project can change the values of these custom fields for all the team members of that project on the Project Team tab.

The user custom fields can be added in the app's administration area and their type can be Text or Multi Value Picker. The Text custom fields are suitable for mapping simple text attributes like Phone Number or Job Title. The Multi Value Picker fields can be used for mapping multi-value attributes like Technical Skills or Foreign Languages because they allow users to select one or more options from a list.
