Add custom fields to quick filter in Business Project List view

Kai Wang July 20, 2022 edited

Hi JIRA community,

We are using JIRA Business Project right now and we encountered a pain point that on List view we can't use custom fields as quick filters. The fields available are standard JIRA fields. See below:

Right now our workaround is go to "Issues" then advanced search, then select the custom fields, and then we can filter. The downside is we are leaving the "List" view and it takes many clicks to search for what we need. And if we want to update something, we need to open the ticket itself whereas in the List view we can modify in place.

We switched from Asana to JIRA because the company is using Atlassian suite. But we really miss the ability to quickly filter by custom fields. Maybe this is possible but I can't find any solution online.

Thanks in advance for the help!

Hi @Kai Wang

if you need an immediate solution to this and are open to solutions from the Atlassian Marketplace, you could try JXL for Jira.

JXL is a full-fledged spreadsheet/table view for your issues that allows viewing and inline-editing all your issue fields. You can also quick-filter your list based on your table columns, much like in e.g. Excel or Google Sheets. This works for all issue fields, including all custom fields.

This is how it looks in action (Assigned Group is a custom field):

JXL integrates into the project sidebar, so many customers use it successfully as an extension to the native list view. (Disclaimer: I work on JXL :)

Hope this helps,

Best,

Hannes

Very cool! Thanks Hannes. I will take it back and discuss with the team if this is something we want to purchase.
