Label-like field in an add-on

Arturas Rimkus

I'd like to use a field type that the default Label functionality uses in JIRA. It's a type-to-search, multiple selection/tag field. However, I haven't succeeded in find it in any Atlassian documentation.

Actually, it's just like the tags field under my question.

Can someone please point me to it?

I'm not aware of any add-on that duplicates the labels functionality.

I think that's because you can simply add a new field of type "label", with another name. So you don't need an add-on.

Hi Nic. I'm not trying to duplicate the labels functionality, merely to utilise the field type. The problem is, in AUI Documentation I cannot find a field of type "label". The Labels element is just that - a label - but it's not in an editable field, which is what I'm looking for.

Ok, that's more information, but I'm still a little stuck. I don't know how to explain where I'm stuck, so please bear with me while I try.

If you want to use the field type, you can just add another field of type labels. My little brain is stuck on why this is not the right answer for you. Labels are editable fields, you can have many of them (although I'd avoid the use of similar names) and hence I'm not sure what you're looking for.

So, you mention the aui documentation - that implies you're trying to do something with the UI, and that you're actually trying to write something, but I don't know what it might be, as there's no context.

It sounds like you could be trying to perform one of many operations:

You might be trying to make a Multi Select Custom Field Type: https://confluence.atlassian.com/jira/configuring-a-custom-field-185729468.html
You might be trying to use the REST API to update the existing labels field on an issue. If that is the case then you want to use the edit issue REST API: https://docs.atlassian.com/jira/REST/latest/#api/2/issue-editIssue
You may be trying to create an new custom field that behaves exactly like the labels field does. I don't think that is supported.

Depending on which one you are trying to do (and how you are trying to do it) our answers will change. For example, are you trying to get an Atlassian Connect add-on to do this?

The more information that you can provide us with the better. Cheers.

Hi Robert. Since I'm new to JIRA add-ons, I THINK that option 3 from your list is what I'm after. What I want to do is add a labels-like field in a web section on an Issue screen, but have that field display my data (a new property for the Issue object that I will create). And yes, I want to achieve this with an Atlassian Connect add-on.

Nic Brough -Adaptavist-

Ah, ok, so I really wasn't getting that from the question.

Yes, you want option three from Robert's list. The question I still have is "what's wrong with the existing field types"?

Arturas Rimkus

Maybe a simpler question would be, what field type is the labels field? Because I want the same functionality.
