Common select list for multiple custom fields

Jenin CM

Hi All,

We have a project where we have a number of select list custom fields and all these fields have common set of values. For eg, Project Status, Development Status, Team Status are custom fields with common values as Red, Green and Amber. Can we have something where we can use the same select list for multiple fields in Jira so that there values have same id's and hence making it easier to pull data using REST API or else we need to pull id's for all the values , though they have common values but different id's.

Thanks and Regards,

Jenin C M

No, there's nothing in Jira that provides many fields from one list, except the versions fields.

You'll need to find or write a plugin to provide that. I'm afraid the only ones I've seen are very much like versions though - they have dedicated and specific purposes, which makes them less functional as generalised fields.

Hi All.

I was wondering if there had been progress on this subject?
I have the same type of need for slightly different reasons:
- several fields with the same answers 'Not yet rated' / 'Yes' / 'No'
- several 'Product & Version' fields (1 for the defect initialy found, 1 for the latest product version on which the defect was reproduced, 1 for the fix delivery).

One solution could consist in offering the ability 1/ to define pick-list and 2/ to assign it to different custom fields.

The request to implement something like this has garned no interest, so Atlassian have done nothing.

That's a pity.

Is there a ticket looking to gather interest?

I have the same use case where we have a few fields that use the same list of values and we have to update all of them each time there is a change. It would be nice to have one list that is used by each of the fields (also reduce cases of manual error in keeping the lists consistent).
