Can I set up Portfolio to configure custom fields?

Question

I added fields for the Teams in JIRA to my story.  This is a custom field that we added.  This is used to control my agile boards.   I make the team a required field when I create the issue.

When i create issues in Portfolio I am fine, but when I try to commit the story to JIRA it fails since the field is required.  Is there any way to have Portfolio configure the custom field when I try to commit the story to JIRA.

Looking at JPO-155 it doesn't appear there's been much movement on this since the question was raised but I have a similar issue. We've made Epic Link a mandatory field when creating a Story. We actually did this using post-validation on the Create workflow step - which is probably a slightly different method than the original poster used.

When we create and commit a Story from Portfolio, we do actually see a popup screen asking for required fields, but, Epic Link isn't one of the fields, so we can't commit. What would be good is to have a way to manage what fields are displayed in that popup.

Hi David,

Thanks for getting back to us. Because the dialog isn't coming up, I would ask you file a support request so that our Technical Support team can look into it further.
