Creator field not showing on issue view

[Alex Ziegltrum]

Hey 👋

for some use cases, we need to have the creator of an issue beside the reporter information.

I added the field to the request type view in the context section, but it is not shown at all on the issue itself.

When trying to add the creator field to the view screen of the issue, it is not in the list at all.

What is the correct way, to get the creator information on to the issue view?

As always thanks for any help 😊

Cheers, Alex

Hi @Alex Ziegltrum ,

We cannot display "Creator" field  in issue view. Already there is an suggestion request. You can vote and watch for the updates.

Workaround:

Create a single user custom field and add in required issue type screens. 
Create project automation as below 
      Issue created --> Edit issue --> select Custom field created and copy value from Creator. 

 

Please note: I have used Approver2 field as an example.

Hello, any ideas, why I have no such option? :)

It is added to screens, etc., but for some reason I cannot choose Creator field.

If I choose any of the Copy fields, it does not open any dialog to choose from either.

EDIT:

Found it why. It has COPY setting:

Somehow I've never noticed it before.

Leaving this message, as I think it might be helpful for others.

As an alternative solution, you can easily create a custom field of single user picker type and add this field  in to the create, view or edit of the desired  issue type.

For example, I add issue "creator field" 

This is how your problem will be solved like ours:
