Can we customize the "All work" tab list view in Forge?

Specifically, can we customize how a custom field value displays in the "All work" tab list view?

I created a custom field that stores issue IDs (e.g., "JAP-40"). Unfortunately, the list view shows only the IDs. I want to display the issue summary/title instead of just the ID.

Is it possible to customize this list view using Forge so that when the field contains an ID, it fetches and displays the corresponding issue summary in the column?

Hi @Rosalin kandapan 

App custom fields uses the view formatter to populate the row in the table, you can define what is displayed in the field by defining it in the manifest property of your app as shown below,

jira:customField: 
  - key: cf-type-money 
    name: Development cost 
    description: Tracks the development cost of features, in different currencies 
    type: object 
    view: 
      formatter: 
        expression: "`${value.amount} ${value.currency}`"

Using the above formatter it will display "16 $" for a field which has below value

[
 customfield_XXXX : {
   amount: 16,
   currency: "$"
 }
]

For you to display the issue summary, it must be persisted in the custom field, since the summary cannot be retrieved dynamically at runtime. If you can somehow ensure the custom field is updated whenever the issue summary changes then it will make this solution viable.

Hello @Rosalin kandapan 

Currently, no. Jira isn't exposing All Work with Forge. 

You can add Description to your List view with the Columns option.
