Additional fields when using user picker

Question

Hi All,

I am developing a jira instance for a large organisation. We use people picker to select the issue manager, however we have quite a lot of people who have similar names and it would be to hard to differentiate using usernames as it matches our staff number, is there a way i could include an additional field describing which team they are part of.

so that will read Daniel Drysdale - daniel.drysdale@pwc.com (ddrysdale003) - "Team"

Hi Daniel,

You can create own plugin with own Custom Field Type implementation.
