As others have said, this seems too high to me. Custom field management is a rare operation. Would a command-line client really be so troublesome?

Operations like adding, listing, and deleting custom fields are likely
to be relatively easy to implement in a command-line tool (and hence
are prioritized more highly), but a good UI for making modifications to
existing fields seems relatively complicated to implement on the
command line.<br>
<br>
This item might be better described as the prioritization of the
ability to edit custom fields, for which a web interface is the path of
least resistance to a usable interface. Of course, you might still
consider this functionality to be prioritized too highly.<br>

Presumably by this you mean "ability to add code to a template such that Bugzilla notices a custom field has been specifically placed and doesn't reproduce it in the generic area"?
</pre>

Most likely that's what I mean. Arbitrary positioning itself will
certainly involve adding code to templates, and telling Bugzilla which
fields are arbitrarily positioned, so that it doesn't reproduce them in
the generic area, will probably also involve template code (perhaps the
two can be integrated), although there are other possibilities (f.e.
listing arbitrarily positioned fields in a site parameter), and I
haven't thought through the problem yet in detail, so I can't say for
sure.<br>
