Create a table inputfield inside Issues in Jira Core

[Bunyamin Ozcan]

Dear all,

For my project, I want to create a table inputfield where an employee can fill in this table when creating issues. The company I work in does not want to spend budget on plugins in Jira Core so I need to do this with a free plugin.

Anyone know a solution for my predicament?

Thanks,

Bunyamin

Hello Bunyamin,

You can create a default text field and add a default value with a table syntax, so a table will be automatically displayed when you add the field to your screens. Here are the steps:

- Navigate to JIRA Settings > Issues > Custom field or type GG > Custom fields

- Click to create a new custom field > Create a new text field (Multi-line)

- Add the field to your project screens

- In the same custom field page, find the field and click to configure it:

- Click to add a default value and configure the syntax of the table as you want, following the instructions in the Text Formatting Notation Help. Example:

||heading 1||heading 2||heading 3||
|col A1|col A2|col A3|
|col B1|col B2|col B3|

- Navigate to your projects > Project settings > Fields > Actions > Edit fields

- Find the custom field > Click on Renderers > Change it to Wiki Markup Renderer

Once you perform the steps above and create a new issue, the new field created will display the table you added as the default:

Let me know if it helps.

Thanks for the reply! Yess this is a nice alternative to what I wanted! Seems there is no way to have a table without the Text Formatting input (The ' |   | ' as example) in the text field. I will do it this way. Thanks for your help :)
