2. Select the three-dot icon next to the project you want to edit, and then select Project Settings.
3. On the left panel, select Issue Types.
4. For the desired issue type, drag the Cobalt Severity field from the panel on the right to the Context fields section.

When findings are pushed to Jira, the Cobalt severity level should appear in the Cobalt Severity field in Jira issues.
