Add a Table to a Screen

tom napper_m7y9vz

We need to be able to have a form for users to fill out on on the issue screen. 

We are migrating the packaging team away from Excel into JIRA for their requests. There is one section where there is a 5 row, 10 column table. When I built the screen, I converted each column into a multi-line field thinking that they could enter the different rows in each. After meeting with the team they gave me feedback that this did not meet their needs. They are requesting that as a creator of the issue that they be able to add the information and make sure it is related to each other and not separated. Is there a way to solve this in JIRA with a table?

I have the idea to create different tabs containing unique custom fields on every tab, but it seems a bit cumbersome.

If your team is adopting to JIRA, I suggest adopting to its functions/features as well. A table custom field is not existent out of the box (there is an add-on for it and a feature request https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-6696 but it was declined). 

How do you use this 5 rows 10 columns table? Is it just a free form custom field? Do they relate with each other? Dependencies? I suggest on thinking what are your other options here. You can use a "List" custom field for each row, a Cascading Select, Single Line text field or Multi line. Maybe, you can just redefine on what information are really needed and store them differently in JIRA.
