There are no valid example for creating a custom field plugin for Jira v 7.x

Hi,

I have followed your tutorial

https://developer.atlassian.com/jiradev/jira-platform/guides/fields/tutorial-custom-fields-in-jira

To develop a custom field plugin.

It does not work anymore presumably because this was for an earlier version of Jira.

Errors include things such as getStringFromSIngularObject is no longer in AbstractSingleFieldType so @Override is not valid.

The end result is that I can get it to compile without errors, and the plugin is shown as enabled when doing atlas-run, but the custom field never appears when I go to select "Add Custom Field", and select "Advanced".

Do you have a working version of some code?

I agree that the add-on tutorials could do with a refresh. Not sure if there are any plans to do so. My O'Reilly Practical JIRA Plugins (example at https://bitbucket.org/mdoar/practical-jira-plugins) could also do with a refresh

Hi Matt,

Yes I have been referencing your book too. As you say, that's out of date too and doesn't work.

I wonder how you are now supposed to write a custom field plugin now that Atlassian doesn't document how to!?

MattS

Best alternative is to look at the source for the standard custom fields that come with JIRA. It's what I did to write that book. And log a request for an updated tutorial at https://developer.atlassian.com/help#requests

Thats not so simple!

I went to the page to download the source (I have the cheapest license) and it does not provide a link to the source, it only suggests I contact Atlassian.

So, I have had to contact them via yet another support page.

I thought they were meant to monitor these pages but given their lack of response that doesn't seem to be the case.
