How to create a Mulit-Select Project Picker field

David Taylor_bsfqu0

What I want is simple, just a multi-select Project Picker field. There already exists a single select version. There also exists a way to use ScriptRunner Behaviors to do this, but it is not available in Jira Cloud.

Are there any solutions for this?? It seems to be an issue that is several years old based on searches, but I haven't been able to find a viable solution.

Hello @David Taylor

There is at least one app that indicates they can provide that type of field.

Multi Project Customfield

I have not used that app before. It came up when I used Google to search for jira cloud multiple selection project picker field

Thanks Trudy. I had already found that app. However, I refuse to pay a monthly fee for such a simple custom field. Considering there is ALREADY a built-in single select field for Projects, there should be a solution for this.

Unfortunately there is not.

I see you already found the change request for such a field to be provided natively and added your vote/comments to it:

Hello @David Taylor

If you're not willing to pay for someone else's time and effort to create a solution to a problem that you believe is 'simple', you could of course build it yourself.

You simply:

Learn JavaScript
Learn the Node.js framework
Learn Atlassian's Forge framework
Build your own custom app that provides the solution
Publish it on the Marketplace

I'm sure you'll make it free, for everyone!!

Hi there,

I saw this request for a multi-project picker custom field, it's a very common need since Jira only offers a single Project Picker out of the box.

We have an app on the Atlassian Marketplace called Multi Project Picker Fields that solves this exactly:

- Select multiple projects in one custom field
- Fully Forge-based → more secure and native feel
- Works in issue view, create, edit, transitions, and bulk edit
- Field context configuration (filter by category/type or specific projects)
- Native JQL support + clickable projects in read-only view
- Shows “Archived” or “Not found” labels when needed

It’s a clean, modern solution for use cases like cross-project dependencies, affected projects, or portfolio tracking.

You can try it here:
https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1488462522/multi-project-picker-fields

Happy to answer any questions if you give it a spin!

Cheers,
