Time Interval custom field(managed)

[Gomez, Daniel]

there is a custom field you can create called "Time Interval" that is managed. Does anyone know how it works or can someone share the link to the documentation?

It says its a custom field that stores start and end date of an interval

Hi @Gomez, Daniel

to my understanding, the Time Interval custom field has recently been introduced through Jira Product Discovery, along with a few other custom field types like Boolean, Rating, or Slider. The Time Interval field allows you pick a day, a month, or a quarter and would typically used in cases where you have an approximate time period in mind that may become more concrete over time.

What I noticed, though, is that while these custom fields work fine on an API level, they don't (yet?) seem to be rendered on issue screens outside of Jira Product Discovery.

So to the best of my knowledge, if you want to use them in native Jira, you can only really do so within Jira Product Discovery for the time being.

Hope this helps,

Best,

Hannes

I should add that there may be apps available in the Atlassian Marketplace that support the field outside of Jira Product Discovery.

As an example, my team and I work on an app named JXL for Jira, in which the Time Interval custom field works as expected for issues of any project. This is the field in action on JSM issues:

For context, JXL is a full-fledged spreadsheet/table view for your issues that allows viewing, inline-editing, sorting, and filtering by all your issue fields, much like you’d do in e.g. Excel or Google Sheets. It also comes with a number of advanced features, including support for (configurable) issue hierarchies, issue grouping by any issue field(s), sum-ups, or conditional formatting.

Any questions just let me know!
