Add fields for tester/reviewer?

Amir Colnect

In the default software project scheme, each issue has a "Reporter" and "Assignee". We would like to add "Reviewer" and "Tester", both people on the team, and possibly change "Assignee" to "Responsible". What's the easiest way to achieve that and ensure these 2 new fields are found in every screen next to the previous two mentioned?

It doesn't appear that the custom field configuration is a very straight forward process

Hello,

Reporter and Assignee fields are not custom fields. These fields are system fields. You can not change the names of the fields.

But there's no harm in adding Reviewer and Tester as custom fields. I'd suggest using the user-picker type for them.

Nic, could you please follow up with clearer instructions on how the fields would be added and included across the different screens of Jira?

You can find info on how to create a custom field and add it to a screen here:

We also are looking at improving the review process just like the other two members above.

By default, Assignee is on and you can select from your company - great
People can then click assignee to me and see everything they are on
It also appears on the sprint board as a User icon

I would like the same to happen for reviewers when we do "people field" and name it reviewers - correct we do get a list of the company to select from - and it appears on the ticket - great

- However, it does NOT appear on the small cards (summary) on the board (it should) ie on left is the assignee (person responsible for the work) and on right is the reviewers so a few icons
- When you click on your name or "only my issues" to find items assigned to you - the filter does not take into account other people's fields only the main assignee one

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Yes, that's correct, the assignee field is the person responsible for getting it done. Your reviewer field is just someone associated with it as a reviewer.

I would probably take a look at copying the reviewer into the assignee field when the issue reaches the review stage.
