For my purpose, I need something like at least 2-level categories or ability to add more categories. Is there any way how to solve this?
there is a bit of missing info here...what do you want to be able to do w/ these categories? Can you provide an example of your use-case?
I assume you know of the currently available Project Category? This field is basically a label/tag you can apply to any project and in the Project page you can filter on the field. I use for labeling Archived projects and things like what business unit it falls into. However, there isn't the ability to have a second category field per project. You could add an issue custom field and you could make it a drop down and per project use a post function or automation to fill it in per project so that every issue in a specific project had the same value. Not sure that is what you are wanting though.
Hi @Petra Rumlová
JIRA allows defining only one category for each project. I would recommend that you follow a naming a convention that helps you to categorize it as required.
For example, if you can create a category AB, then the projects under AB can be
A-Project1
B-Project2
Thanks for your answer, I'll try to give you more info.. Some of our Jira projects already have Categories (but not most of them). New requirement is, group them by "internal", "external".
Current situation example:
Projects: [Project1, Project2, Project3, Project4, CustomerName1, CustomerName2, ProjectXYZ]
Categories: [CustomerName1]
{ CustomerName1: { projects: [Project4, CustomerName1] } }{ SomeCategory: { projects: [Project1, ProjectXYZ] } }
(rest of projects without category)
Desired situation:
{ CustomerName1: { projects: [Project3, Project4, CustomerName1] } }{ SomeCategory: { projects: [Project1, ProjectXYZ] } }{ Internal: { projects: [Project1,Project2,ProjectXYZ] } }{ External: { projects: [Project3, Project4, CustomerName1, CustomerName2] } }or{ External: { projectCategories: [ CustomerName1, CustomerName2 ] } }
i assume you want a queryable solution. If not you could use the description. But I expect you do so would point you to search the Marketplace but I don't know of any such addon personally.
Yes, I need queryable solution. For now, your second advice with custom fields seems like the best solution. Thank you!
You can use Project Groups for Jira add-on for this
