Add custom field at project level - possible?

[Jacques]

Hi,

I'm implementing JIRA in our company and was wondering if there exists the possibility to add a custom field to the project level (so not the issue level). The reason is that we would like to keep track of whom requested a project.

I know of the possibility to add this at the issue level but don't seem to be able to add this to the project level.

Any ideas anyone?

Help is greatly appreciated!

thanks,
Jacques.

Nope, see https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-1991 for the request and progress, along with suggestions for workarounds.

Thanks for this Nic. Shame that this was requested a few years back and that since then nothing has come from it (yet).

The proposed plugins don't seem compatible with our current version of JIRA 4.4.

Thanks anyway.

Atlassian have a big backlog of requests. I think everyone probably disagrees with their priorities, but we wouldn't be able to agree on a "better" list ;-)

I'm not sure why the proposed plugins haven't been updated - it may be worth asking the authors. Or possibly downloading the source and seeing if it can be recompiled and made to work with your version. (All the plugins I've published are for v4, I've not had time to update them, but simply changing the target version and recompiling one of them made it work in 4.3 without code change)

Hello Jacques;

Maybe too late, but if you are still interested, we released Profields last Summer and now, recently, we launched Profields 2.0. You can define and use Project level fields (like issue custom fileds). You can get more info here:

https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.deiser.jira.profields

http://www.deiser.com/subject/landing/profields/

you can try it and see if the plugin meets your expectations. Also, you can send your questions, suggestions and any other comment here: http://www.madeira20.com

Thank you very much.

Hi there, we got an update for you;

https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/nl.avisi.jira.plugins.edit-custom-field-values

That is exactly what you need.

This suggestion doesn't fulfill what the asker was looking for. This is for issue level custom fields that can differ on a project by project basis. The asker was asking for project level fields.

This doesn't seem to work.  I can't use the custom fields already in jira and assign them to a layout.  Am I missing something?

[Guillermo _DEISER_]

Hello;

I will forward what you say to the team. Im afraid that in order to use existing custom fields you'll have to create a Profield and associate to the custom field but I am not sure (this is the problem to be the CEO; you know absolutely nothing :-) .

Hello,

This post has more than 5 years.

Does anybody know if any progress has been done in this topic? Is there any way to create custom fields at a project level in a native way or with an add-on?

Thanks

Best solution I've seen is still @Guillermo _DEISER_ 's Profields app, although there are now tricks you can play in some other apps that can help.  Atlassian have still got a native implementation buried very very low in the backlog.

thank you Nic. I am only the CEO of DEISER :-) Here is the link so you can try it. also the #DEISERTeam can support. We are preparing a lot of new and interesting features for this year :-)
