Best custom field for boolean value

Asier Vadillo

Hi everyone!

Was trying to use a new custom field to indicate if a bug is a regression or not (True/false). The first option that came to my mind was the "Checkbox" not "Checkboxes" field but apparently it is only available for Jira Product Discovery.

Which custom field would you use for a boolean value? A single choice selector named "Regression" with True/False as values?

Any insight are appreciated!

Regards,

Asier

Hi @Asier Vadillo

Best option I always use is a custom field of type radio button.

A Radio button works. I often use a single-value checkbox. If the box is checked, it is true. Otherwise, it is false.

To add even more opinion to this I tend to use a single select dropdown list

I just add the values Yes/No or True/False

In practice I don't make it mandatory and dont set a default value on it but when I need to check something it will be either True or Not True / Empty

Hi @Derek Fields _RightStar_ @Marc -Devoteam- ,

Thanks for the reply, could you show me the results of a radio button used as a boolean? In my case I should name the field Regression and put Yes and No as options? This seems to me as a single choice selector.

Which would you say are the advantages comparing to a single choice selector?

Thanks a lot!

Hi @Asier Vadillo

No as on a radio button field you need to provide both options an you can only select one.

What is case on where and how to check the value, with an automation rule or in the workflow?

Hi @Marc -Devoteam- ,

I have created a radio button field called Regression with Yes/No options. Assigned to the View Bug Screen and changed the layout but the field is not visible. It is a field only visible when has values? And can only be changed by automation?

Hi @Asier Vadillo

Yes, an option has to be chosen to make the field visible on the view screen.

So the field must be on create or edit screen or a screen used on a workflow transition to be ste with a value.
