Add a non-list field to a table as new column in dashboard with Custom Charts Simple Search

[Li_ Suhan]

I am creating a dashboard, by using Custom Charts Simple Search Gadget, to list Jira issue deployment information. There is not a field, Environment in screen, but I need environment information list in the table in the dashboard.  I have columns: Key, Summary, Bitbucket Project, Bitbucket Repository, Bitbucket Release Tag, Status, Updated, and reporter. For the field, Summary, such as "HR - Rel_1.2.0.4 - Move to Test" or "HR - Rel_1.2.0.4 - Move to Production", which there is the environment, e.g., “Test“, “Production“, “Training“ included. Or another field in the screen, Issue Type, with values "SCM Test deployment", "SCM Production deployment" or "SCM Training Deployment" which includes environment information, too. I need a new column, Environment, which have value with “Test“, “Production“ or “Training“. How can I get this new column with the correct value listed in the table? Can I just add the field, then only label the value with a match or filter?

Thanks,

Hi @Li_ Suhan ,

You can’t create a new column in Custom Charts Simple Search by extracting values from Summary or Issue Type.
In Issue List, each column must come from an actual Jira field.

So the practical solution is to create a real field such as Environment, populate it manually or through Jira Automation based on Summary or Issue Type, and then add that field to the table.
