Custom field position in Jira Server

Dirk Dittert

Hi,

I have created a custom field in my plugin and would like it to show up in a specific location (i.e. where Jira shows user information or date information). I remember that this can be configured for each type of custom field. However, I don't seem to be able to find that information anymore.

Could someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

Hi @Dirk Dittert you cannot configure where "user", "group", "date" and "datetime" fields are positioned.

All the other types of fields are positioned based on the Screen configuration (https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver/defining-a-screen-938847288.html)

What is the type of your custom field?

Thanks for getting back at me. I am aware of the screen configuration. However, my question is not about configuration but about creating a new custom field type (i.e. Java code in a custom plugin).

My custom field extends CalculatedCFType<String, String> and I want that field to show up to the right, where users are shown.

hi @Dirk Dittert , please let's try to hold the communication in one thread . I tried to check Jira Source code and find out, which condition is used to display the field in user fields section and date fields section. I found out User/Group fields types implement com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.UserField and date fields implement com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.DateField.

I don't have chance to test it but could you give it a try and let me know if it worked?

I guess you know how to implement the interface but for eventual future readers...

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.UserField;

public class MyCFType extends CalculatedCFType<String, String> implements UserField {

}

Thanks for your tip. Implementing UserField moves the field over to right hand side.
