Text field not showing in Confluence chart marco (two dimensional chart)

[Joe]

I have a custom text field that will not show up in the two dimensional chart. I know it will not show because it is a text field. How can I have this field show? Can it be mapped to another field that is different?

Hi @Joe, 

Nic's explanation on this thread answers your question here. Text field can't be grouped and hence, it should not be (and cannot be) used for 2D gadgets.

These are the supported custom field type:

• Group picker
• Multi select
• User picker
• Select list
• Version picker

If those issues with the text field type have values that are controlled, then you might want to consider doing this:

1. Use some sort of scripting; Scriptrunner or REST APIs or some third-party apps.
2. Read the text field values.
3. Create a new custom field type select list.
4. Create options under the new custom field.

I hope that this helps.

Thanks,
Moga
