Global fields

Release planning & reports app adds the capability of adding

metadata to versions or releases in Jira. This

metadata can be broadly considered into two buckets - Global & Project level.

As the names suggest, Global fields are available across all the projects on that Jira instance & Project level fields are available only within the Jira projects they are defined in.
