2024 with Awesome Custom Fields: milestones, highlights, and what’s next
2024 was a whirlwind—a year where spreadsheets sighed with relief and Jira projects got a whole lot prettier. At Awesome Custom Fields, we’ve been on a mission: making Jira as intuitive as it is powerful. Spoiler alert: We had some fun along the way (special shoutout to Apptoberfest!).
Let’s take a not-so-serious stroll through the highlights.
Your feedback helps us improve
What’s better than feedback? A LOT of feedback
This year, you told us what you loved and what needed a bit more polish (looking at you, slow-loading screens).
The Good
"LOVE THIS! Huge improvement for the overall look and feel of Jira."
"Traffic Lights have been a game changer, especially moving from DC to Cloud."
"An excellent addition to our Jira setup."
The Could-Be-Better
"The fields are cool, but way too slow."
Ouch. Good news: We fixed it immediately. You talk, we listen, and Jira becomes better for everyone.
Calculate and combine values effortlessly with the Advanced Formula Field
Features that stole the show
We didn’t just tweak; we leveled up this year:
Advanced Formula Field: Because calculations shouldn't feel like calculus. Perfect for teams tackling story points, ROI, and more
JSM Field Overhaul: Seven new fields to make ITSM smoother than ever, including Due Date Countdown, Progress Bars, and WSJF
Dark Mode: Work hard, stay sleek
Plus, we were named one of the fastest-growing apps by Contegix in January and received the Spotlight badge in the Atlassian Marketplace. No big deal 😎
Meet Sparqly, our feedback app developed for Codegeist 2024
Adventures in community
This year, we took our show on the road and connected with you in new ways:
Apptoberfest: We rolled out a fun ROI calculation challenge and walked away as winners of our category (thank YOU for voting!)
Codegeist: Enter Sparqly, our shiny new feedback app
Team trips to Tübingen & Mainz: Where we layed the foundation for our professional disc golf career and learned what a Stocherkahn is
What’s next?
2025 is calling, and we’re ready. But before we dive in, we want to thank YOU. The reviews, the feedback, the support—it’s what keeps us innovating.
