Adding custom field to Issue Summary

Question

Hi,

I'm trying to add a custom field value near to the Issue Summary (on the top left of the issue's details page) and I've found the following link explaining how to do that:

https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA040/Adding+Custom+Field+to+Issue+Summary

Accordingly to that link I was looking for the file issuesummary.vm in the path WEB-INF/classes/templates/jira/issue/summary/ but I can't find it.

On our Jira setup (6.1.8), the path WEB-INF/classes/templates/jira/issue/summary/ contains only these directories:

field

searchers

table

Where can I find issuesummary.vm file?

Thank you in advance for your help

For link panel yes. For subtasks, you can add fields using advanced properties.

Hi Jobin,

another question: is the procedure the same if I would like to add a custom field column to the Link panel?

Hi Jobin,

thank you very much for your answer! I'll try to avoid to make any changes inside the plugin... I agree that it would be hard to be maintained!
