Show custom date fields under tab instead of dates area

Christian Czaia [Decadis AG]

Hi,
date fields in JIRA, no matter if custom or system fields, are bein displayed in the "Dates" area. Until now I could live with that.
Now I had to create a generic workflow with x milestones. My customer wants the name of the milestone and the corresponding due date (as configured in my tab "milestones") displayed together. Has anyone an idea how I could accomplish that?

Thinking of workarounds I've been contemplating copying the date value into another custom field where the date is being represented as a string (seeting the string field to invisible via a behaviour).
Another idea might be (if thats possible) concatinating the milestone description field and the corresponding date field...

As you can see I'm pretty lost here.

Thanks for any help

Christian

The field appears there because the standard date field implements DateField interface. If you create a date custom field that doesn't implement the interface, it will appear as normal fields.

You can then put it under any tabs you want.

Another option is to tweak the bundled view issue plugin!

Its configuration would be something like:

return "Milestone: " + customfield_10011 + " Due: " + dueDate;

Hey Jobin,

this can't be done through the normal UI I guess... How can I modifiy the custom field in order to prevent implementing the DateField interface?

Nic Brough -Adaptavist-

I think that Jobin is suggesting that you create a new custom field type - it can be the same as the standard off-the-shelf Date custom field (if you have a license for Jira, you could download the source and see how that one works), but you tweak it slightly so that Jira thinks it's plain text (even though you could retain the date/time output, field handling and so-on)

Jobin Kuruvilla [Adaptavist]

Meant exactly what Nic said.

You can always create new text field and during on of the transitions, copy the value of a date field and paste in to a text field. With this, you will be able to show it on any tab you want. It's kind of a workaround, but it did the job for me.

I have tried the same

my scripted field ends with

"def total = rt.sum() as Long
return (total / 1000) as long ?: 0L"

But when i copy the time to resolve scripted filed the output in text field is

the above field is text filed ,

it copies nos, rather than 14 hous,12 minutes.

any suggestion on that

Your script is returning a number into a string field, so the field doesn't really know what you're trying to tell it.

My best guess is that your script should to changing the number returned explicitly to the string you want to see, but it is an odd conversion there, not what I would expect.

We don't know what tool you are using for the scripting, and I suspect there are other parts of the script we'd need to see before we can tell you what it is doing (against what it should)

time to resolution field is created from ===> Time in status ++ (plut in)

I am using script runner in the system
