What is cf[10004]

[Hardip Singh]

Hi Folks

I hope you're all well and having a wonderful week. This is more of an enquiry than an issue (thankfully).

At work I'm in a scrum board. I see the active and future sprints. I then arrive at the backlog and select the blue icon for "View in Issues Navigator".

I can read the query below and understanding it. We have a separate dictionary for the various codes and associated friendly names. However I don't understand what cf[10004] is. 

Can someone please explain this?

project = XXXX AND Team = XXXX AND status in ("17200", "10906", "10300", "17201", "13903", "3", "11406", "10012", "10609", "12003", "10011", "10305", "10105", "1", "14404", "11103", "11400", "10612", "10608", "10611", "6") AND issuetype != "10000" AND status not in ("10612", "10305", "6", "10608", "12003") AND (cf[10004] is EMPTY OR cf[10004] not in futureSprints() AND cf[10004] not in openSprints())

As always, thanks to anyone that takes the time to respond. It's always appreciated and a massive help.

Have a great day.

Regards

Hi Hardip,

That refers to a specific custom field (cf). The number is the id of the field. You can find the field by going to Settings > Issues > Custom Fields

Click on the 3 dots for one of the fields in your list - any field. In the url address for the field, you will see the ID of the custom field. Change that value for 10004 and search the url. That will show you which custom field it is.

Hi @John Funk 

Thanks for responding. I didn't quite follow that. Its been a long day!!

Do you mean project settings, then in the issue types select Issue?

Thanks again, Hardip

No, the Settings is the gear icon in the upper right side of the top navigation bar.

Hi @John Funk 

I did check that but wanted to swing back round to clarify things.

When I select the upper right hand gear icon I'm directed to the project settings for the selected project. So I think our Jira setup here is different.

I'll raise a issue with the Jira team here to see if they can help with my understand. It's obviously not going to be priority :-)

Thanks again Jira brother!

Have a great day.

No, that should not be the project settings - when you click on that gear - it should take you to issues.

Hi @John Funk 

Thanks again, the screenshot is very helpful.

Unfortunately my admin access doesn't give me the super powers to see any of those options, instead your taken to the projects page. And depending on which project is selected in the project settings.

I imagine only the Jira admins will have access to those options. Regardless I worked through your guidance using my cloud account and changed the number in the URL so its useful to know.

Have a great day.
