Multi Select Searcher is not getting loaded when I try to create custom Multi Select CF Type

[Bharadwaj Jannu]

I implemented a customfield type which extends MultiSelectCFType and its UI shows checkboxes.

Now I want to implement existing Multi Select Searcher to it.

I tried with the instructions in https://confluence.atlassian.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=236588798

and http://www.j-tricks.com/1/post/2010/09/custom-field-searchers.html

but I don't see any searcher while creating customfield of my type.

Also the installed plugin got disabled when I just reload the Manage Plugins page

I found a simple workaround for this from

How have you "implemented" the searcher?

[Bharadwaj Jannu]

No, I just placed the custom-field-searcher xml code in my atlassian-plugin.xml and given <valid-customfield-type> attribute value to my plugin and module keys of my customfield.

[Bharadwaj Jannu]

<customfield-searcher key="read searcher" name="Read Bool Searcher"

i18n-name-key="admin.customfield.searcher.multiselectsearcher.name"

class="com.atlassian.jira.issue.customfields.searchers.MultiSelectSearcher">

<description key="admin.customfield.searcher.multiselectsearcher.desc">Search for multiple values using a single select list.</description>

<resource type="velocity" name="search" location="templates/plugins/fields/edit-searcher/search-multiselect.vm"/>

<resource type="velocity" name="view" location="templates/plugins/fields/view-searcher/view-searcher-multioption.vm"/>

<resource type="velocity" name="label" location="templates/plugins/fields/view-searcher/label-searcher-htmltext.vm"/>

<valid-customfield-type package="com.teradata.boolcf.BCF" key="boolcf_key"/>

</customfield-searcher>

this is the searcher code in descriptor.

Sorry, could you show us exactly what you've put in the xml? Just the searcher related lines of course
