Not able to view the Edit,Hide,Required,Screens button for a custom field under field configuration in jira

jayasingh

Hi,

we have upgraded jira5.0.7 to jira 6.1.7 and jira-misc plugin from 1.5.0 to 1.5.7. By mistake under field configuration i have removed the description formula start tag (<!--) for the custom-field "Risk Exposure"and i have updated. But after that i am not able to see the Edit,Hide,Required,Screens button in jira for that custom field.I have tried setting the description as empty using the below query

UPDATE fieldlayoutitem SET description = '' WHERE fieldlayout = '10260' AND fieldidentifier = 'customfield_12161';

but still i am not able to see those options.PFB Screen Shot, the options not visible for Risk Exposure

Could you please help me resolve this issue.

Thanks,

Jayasingh

I suspect this is a UI bug on that page and when the description contains html code the buttons are not visibe.

One way to get around that is to open

/secure/admin/EditFieldLayoutItem!default.jspa?id=10260&position=26 (replace position with the proper one, see the position of the "Risk Category/Impacted Area" item and put the next one).

and then set the description to something short "..." for example.

Then the buttons should be visible.

Also you can use a simular links to hide, show, etc... this field layout item:

/secure/admin/EditFieldLayoutHide.jspa?id=10260&hide=26
