Alkaes JIRA Plugin Field Administration Enhanced provides 2 axis of enhancement :

Graphical enhancements
It concerned the ability ...
- to apply a grayed font on Fields which are not visible in the Field Configuration
- to provide an Expand/Collapse feature for each Fields,
- and also to allow to hide all unused fields
Additional Operation
When the Field Configuration page is loaded, an extra operation is added for each fields :
Hide in others operation allows you to hide the field in all others Field Configuration excepted the current one.
Take care ... If your instance has a too large number of Field Configuration, the request of this operation may fall in timeout. In such case, you will have to follow the result in your log files.
Exemple : For more than 100 Field Configurations with 500 Fields, the operation takes more than 30 min.

Sample
In the example (on the left side) with a JIRA Instance 5 Projects, 8 Workflows, 86 Custom Fields and 31 Screens, the gain in scrolling is important :
- When all Fields are expanded, we have to scroll on 11 screens,
- When Field details are collapsed, we have to scroll on 7 screens,
- When Field details collapsed and only relevant Fields are displayed, we have to scroll on 5 screens,
Imagine the gain with more complex JIRA Instances.
But before all, it will allow you to have a clear definition of Field Configuration.
| Expanded | Collapsed | Collapsed & Hidden |
