Yes, I tested this as well (the PHP organization is signed up for the
beta). Unfortunately, I found this functionality rather awkward and don't
think it would work well for us. The key problem is that the new
functionality is not an improvement for issues -- it's an improvement for
"projects". You can add an issue to a project (manually) and then you can
add extra metadata to the issue in that project. It's not possible to add
custom fields to issues themselves.
