What to do to add "scripted field" datatype in JIRA

[Iram Masood]

I cannot see the datatype scripted filed in jira while creating the custom filed for my script runner.

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist- · Accepted solution]

Scriptrunner for Jira Cloud does not have scripted field types (it can't - Cloud does not let it).  You have to use one of the standard custom field types and then write listener or post-function scripts that update those custom fields.

Ah, I owe my friend @Kristian Walker _Adaptavist_  another beer for this one.

Scripted fields can now be supported by Cloud, but it does it differently to Server, and they're accessed via Admin -> Scriptrunner -> Scripted Fields, not by adding a field in the main list.

It is a relatively new function, but https://scriptrunner-docs.connect.adaptavist.com/jiracloud/scripted-fields.html is the doc to run through

By the way, I've tried to put one of these scripted fields on the sidebar but if I want to see it I always have to click "Open Scripted Fields" before that. It's a bit clumsy, I mean, isn't there a way to see the scripted fields on the issue sidebar straight away without having to click a button? The only alternative that comes to my mind would be putting the field in the issue content section.

I'm afraid not - that's down to the way Jira Cloud works, not SR.  

I know we're getting places with getting Atlassian Cloud to enable SR to be more clever, but I don't know where we are with UI changes like that.
