Hi @gopinath_velayudhan

agreeing to what Vikrant and Fabian suggested I wanted to share that some stale Java Script adaptions in the past lead to an incident for a Jira instance we were running resulting in a downtime for several hours which in the end caused more expenses (by people not being able to work) than any App could cause.

So ... in the end it is you who has to decide but here my +1 for an App (whichever you might prefer, at least you can test all of them for some days - for free).

Regards,
Daniel

@gopinath_velayudhan  Java script is wrong way of doing this. It often doesn't work what you want it to do.

Inject Javascript modify JIRA behaviour in very strange way. There is no way to trace that from configuration point of view. More over you can't see added JavaScript code in Debugger, which makes troubleshooting very hard.
