Add options manager for custom field plugin

[Kirill Nazarov]

Hi, 

At the moment I'm implementing custom plugin for my org. 

I'm trying to extend AbstractCustomFieldType class and implement MultipleSettableCustomFieldType interface. 

When I run JIRA dev instance locally, I add new custom field, then go to Configuration for that field and there is no Options available. I expect that there will be Options similar to Cascading Select custom field. How to achieve this?

Hi @Kirill Nazarov 

It's really hard to guess from the input you provided. I assume that you already followed these steps:

• Your custom field type extends the AbstractCustomFieldType class. 
• Your custom field implements the MultipleSettableCustomFieldType interface which provides the methods to handle options in the configuration of your custom field. 
• You override the getConfigurationItemTypes method and return a list of FieldConfigItemType objects that represent the types of configuration items you want to provide. In your case, you would need to return an item type for the options.
• You defined this custom field type to your atlassian-plugin.xml file

Hi @Tuncay Senturk !

I missed overriding of getConfigurationItemTypes method. Now Options are available. 

Thank you!
