What is an "Issue Picker Custom Field"?

The Issue Picker custom field is a special custom field of type "Single Issue Picker" or "Multi Issue Picker". It allows users to select one or more issues from a dynamic suggestion list, which is generated based on a configurable JQL filter.

This custom field can be created and configured only by Jira administrators.
