Custom Fields: Why can't I filter by my custom field or add it as a column in My Issues screen?

Steve Kelly1

I have created a custom field (text field, <255 characters). It has a search schema associated (free text searcher) and it belongs to a Screen (default screen). I can edit the field just fine on the ticket, but when I try to filter issues based on that field, or add the column to the My Issues screen, it will not let me.

Is this a result of the field being a "text" field? I would really like to keep it a text field.

Thanks,

The screen doesn't matter for the issue navigator. To display a field in the issue navigator the field must exists for all potential selected issues of your search. Take a look at the field configuration and for which projects and/or issue types the field is configured. Than restrict your search to this projects/issue types and you should be able to select your field (in simple mode you may have to refresh the search after selecting the project/issuetype).
