Custom field

Question

Hi all,

We're looking at creating an Asset Management project on our JIRA Server. To record the make of an asset, I'd like suggested options to appear as users start to type. But, if none of the existing make options match what they're typing, I'd like them to be able to just tap Enter to add that make as a new make type - similar to how JIRA handles labels.

Any help is greatly appreciated

Heya Will,

Unfortunately, I don't think you can do that with that custom field type. However, custom field allows you to inject Javascript under the field's description section, something like this KB. With this, perhaps you can inject a Javascript that limits the field to accept one value.

Thanks for replying Mogavenasan.

Is there a way to limit this field so users can only select one label?

Hi Will,

There is a Custom Field type "Label", you can use that Custom Field type and you will be able to have a field that works like the existing Label System Field.
