(8.5.2) Mapping project fields as jira custom fields
Custom fields are a very important part of the Jira core functionality. Using them, we are able to perform many extra actions.
It is possible to associate a project field with a Jira custom field for the following project field types:
- Text field
- Number field
- Date field
- Duration field
- User field
- Project field
- Group field
- List field
- Status field
- Priority field
is not possible to associate a project field with a Jira custom field on a cumulative issue field nor script field. The reason is that the nature of the mechanics of calculated fields may cause performance issues and slow Projectrak down.
Custom fields map project fields values
How to configure mapping
The process to associate a project field is really simple. On the fields page (Go to Projectrak → Fields), create a new project field or edit an existing one, and then select the custom field association option: Map into a Jira issue custom field.
IMPORTANT: Be aware that, as per the Jira permissions scheme, the field value will be visible to anyone who has access to the issue and the field.
Custom field details
When a field with mapping is saved, a custom field is created with the same name and description as the associated project field.
We recommend you edit and configure the context of the custom field.
Finally, it incorporates the field in the view screen (In this case AT RISK is the project status)
