The Tempo Team Custom Field is installed automatically with Tempo Teams, but needs to be associated to screens. The custom field makes it possible to give JIRA Issues to a Tempo team, and the team can then be used in the JIRA Issue search, like when creating filters for JIRA Agile boards.

(info) Giving Epics to a team will also give all the associated JIRA Issues to the team. Same goes for sub-tasks of an Issue that is given to a team.

This custom field is also used behind the scenes in Program Planning, when giving backlog items to teams.
