Currently, the "Acceptance Criteria" field is listed above the "Description" field. All the users are taken back and feel uncomfortable to see the acceptance criteria before the description field.
Thank you
Balaji, You can drag and drop up and down the field to the desired order from the Issue Detail View option at Board Settings
Gaston,
The issue detail view allows me to move the field within the section called "General Fields".
I want the "Acceptance Criteria" field to be listed below the Description field. Secondly, the "Description" field is not listed in the issue detail view.
Bajali, can you send me an screenshot and let me know the jira version?
thanks!
The version is 6.4.5
That's the standard full issue view.
To move the fields around in there (other than the order in which some custom fields appear in the custom field area), you need to hack the core code that draws the screen
Hi!
As Nic said, there's no way to achieve this from the UI
Perhaps from the browser, you can hack the code and make suitable changes, however, it's not permanent.
Thanking everyone for the response.
Hi Nic,
Do you have any guidance on how to hack it?
Thanks
Elle
You would need to download the source code of Jira, find the modules that render the issue view, amend them so that they understand they need to move your field, recompile (at least that module) and redeploy
You'll be unsupported, and have to repeat this on every upgrade. I cannot recommend doing it.
Thanks Nic, thats really useful. Totally agree, doesn't sound like a good move.
Are there any plans to change this? It is a big inconvenience to have the acceptance criteria above the description. Is there any reason why set fields are in set orders? We are in the process of implementing SCRUM. We have been using Jira for some years, but now we need t tailor the story view to encourage the team to enter the correct data for each story. Things like this make that a harder task.
