To meet the requirements for two new fields in a company-managed project, one field must allow selecting a single option from a dropdown list, and the other must allow bold and underlined text.The appropriate field types areRadio buttons(Option C) for the dropdown list andParagraph(Option B) for bold and underlined text.

Explanation of the Correct Answers:

Radio buttons (Option C):

The requirement toallow a single option from a dropdown list of optionsis met by aRadio buttonscustom field. This field type presents a list of predefined options in a radio button format, allowing users to select exactly one option, similar to a dropdown list. In Jira, radio buttons are often used interchangeably withSelect List (single choice)for single-selection lists, and both fulfill the requirement.

Exact Extract from Documentation:

Custom field types

TheRadio buttonsfield type allows users to select one option from a predefined list, presented as radio buttons.

To create:

Go toSettings > Issues > Custom fields.

Create a new field and selectRadio buttons.

Define the list of options.Note: Radio buttons are similar toSelect List (single choice)and are used for single-selection dropdown-like functionality.(Source: Atlassian Support Documentation, "Manage custom fields in Jira Cloud")

Why This Fits: TheRadio buttonsfield type provides a single-selection list, meeting the requirement for a dropdown list of options.

Paragraph (Option B):

The requirement toallow bold and underlined textis met by aParagraphcustom field (also known asText Field (multi-line)). This field type supports rich text input, including formatting options like bold and underlined text, using a WYSIWYG editor or wiki-style markup.

Exact Extract from Documentation:

Custom field types

TheParagraph(orText Field (multi-line)) field type allows users to enter multiple lines of text with rich text formatting, including bold, underline, and other styles.

To create:

Go toSettings > Issues > Custom fields.

Create a new field and selectParagraph.Note: The rich text editor supports formatting like bold and underline, or users can use wiki-style markup (e.g.,bold,underline).(Source: Atlassian Support Documentation, "Manage custom fields in Jira Cloud")

Why This Fits: TheParagraphfield supports rich text formatting, including bold and underlined text, meeting the second requirement.

Why Other Options Are Incorrect:

Short text (Option A):

AShort text(orText Field (single line)) custom field allows single-line text input but does not support rich text formatting like bold or underlined text. It is unsuitable for the second requirement and does not provide a dropdown list for the first requirement.

Extract from Documentation:

TheShort textfield type is for single-line plain text and does not support rich text formatting like bold or underline.

Checkboxes (Option D):

ACheckboxescustom field allows users to select multiple options from a predefined list. The first requirement specifies asingle option, making checkboxes unsuitable, as they are designed for multiple selections.

Extract from Documentation:

TheCheckboxesfield type allows multiple selections from a list. For single-selection lists, useRadio buttonsorSelect List (single choice).
