Using custom fields
When I add a custom field then select this field to be visible to a project, this should be all that is required to use the field however at present, you then need to go into each role that is on the project and allow each role to use the custom field. As projects are role controlled anyway, can we change bugtrack so that to use a Custom field, all you need to do is add it and make it visible in the project?

The role keeps tracking the permissions for all custom fields, regardless whether it is present or not. The default setting for permission is change. So, when you add new custom field, all roles receive change permission for it.

My guess you had a custom field and set the roles' permissions to hide it; then deleted the custom field (permission for the field number X is still remembered), then you are adding custom field anew - in this case permission is restored to the state you had before.
