A Grid Custom Field is now a native Jira custom field.

Each Grid Custom Field can contain multiple contexts. Each context has its own independent Grid configuration, and grid configurations. Therefore, deleting a context will permanently remove its grid configuration.

There are 2 ways to delete a context of Grid Custom Field:

Delete a Context of Grid Custom Field from Grid Custom Fields page in Table Grid app

Click Yes button to confirm deletion

Delete a Context of Grid Custom Field from Fields page in Jira admin settings

Click the Actions button of your Grid Custom Field Select Contexts and default values option

If you delete all contexts of a Grid Custom field, it will still appear on the Fields page but will be hidden from the Grid Custom Fields page in the Table Grid Next Generation app.
