Custom field configurations for `jira:customField` (not `jira:customFieldType`)

Hi all,

I am interested in using the field context configuration API for a jira:customField model to hold some global configuration for the custom field, via this API. In my app I’d have a global settings page for the app which allows updating some field configuration for these otherwise locked fields. I percieve the benefit as being that the configuration will be more easily accessible in my UIKit view/edit code (and without having to fetch from storage).

I could not see anything specific in the documentation about the context configuration for a jira:customField, but from testing the API works to set the context - at the moment.

My question is simply if this is intentional functionality that I can rely on? It’s not documented in the module, but is mentioned in the jira:customFieldType docs for configuration, which set me off on this path.

Thanks!

I discovered that the field configuration has to be loaded via an API call in any case, this would not make as much of a latency saving as I had expected.

The answer would still be somewhat interesting though
