How can a non-Jira administrator add options to a custom "Select List" field?

Ezadin Mahmoud_5ddqmq

Hello Support team,

We have a project that should be maintained by a non-jira-admin employee.

This person should also be able to add options to a certain custom "select list" field.

Is there a way to give a non-jira-admin staff member the right to add options to a certain custom "select list" field in a certain project ?

Best regards

Ezadin

@Ezadin Mahmoud , Welcome to the community!

It is not possible directly in JIRA out of the box. Only a jira admin can manage custom fields.

You could design a custom solution that gets the value from the end user in a JIRA form as a free text field and write a script to add that as a choice to the custom field (script running as jira admin).

Thank you, Fazila, for your answer.

But doesn't this end user have to be a jira admin?
I will try your suggestion with scriprunner.

Hi @Ezadin Mahmoud - Welcome!

You might look at an add-on to link Jira select list fields to external sources. We use one for Jira Cloud, but you might consider a server based one here: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/23337/elements-connect-external-data-fields?hosting=server&tab=overview

Thanks for the recommendation @John Funk

@Ezadin Mahmoud you could store your select list options in a CSV file that can be modified by someone other than the Jira Admin, and then those options would be available in an Elements Connect custom field. That way the admin would just have to configure the field once, and the options in the CSV file will be available automatically in Jira.
