Checkbox Custom Fields

Question

I extensively wrote the options for 2 custom checkbox fields.

One of them saved, the other did not.

I would like to resolve this, but I cannot find how to edit the checkbox options. When I go to the Custom Fields list and click on the new Checkbox field, the ability to edit the checkbox options is not there, nor is it when I click on Edit Details. Feels like a bug, which would be inconvenient given Checklist is my middle name.

Also, I cannot figure out how to only show these custom fields on specific custom issue types.

I can only have them show on any/all issues types of a certain project, but they are designed for only a specific issue type, that is shared between several projects.

I'll check it out, thank you

Thank you. I resolved the issue only to find out that the check boxes only show a limited number of characters (while the fields allow for unlimited characters).

Hi @David Thomson

I bet @Sebastian Krzewiński's help put you on the right track, but since you said Checklist is your middle name you might want to consider using a third-party checklist app.

Those come in may shapes and colors, but I'm practically sure all are way more versatile than the simple custom field. I would know - I work for a company that released the most successful one ;)

Cheers,
Wojciech
