Can we use existing custom fields (from Jira Software) in Jira Product Discovery?

[brent.johnson]

We have a custom field in our Jira Software projects (Squad) which we use for a few different things.

I've also created a custom field in Jira Product Discovery called Squad but ideally, these should be the same. This causes some issues when we do automations (it shows two Squad fields).

If I look in the Custom fields section of Jira admin, it only shows the Jira Software Squad, not the Jira Product Discovery Squad.

I think this might be a next-gen vs. classic project issue... but not 100% sure.

Definitely would be valuable. I hope this is part of the 'and much more...' of 📣 Early access program for enhanced timeline view... - Atlassian Community but I haven't heard one way or the other for now.

I agree. It would be useful to be able to mark dependencies graphically. I have taken to exporting from JPD to Lucid Chart (other graphical tools are available) and then marking the dependencies there - its just easier there for me to see the wood for the trees. Then once I have the dependencies right, I then manually transpose them back in into JPD as linked issues. Bit of a pain but it gives me what I need. I would be very awesome to do this in one tool graphically.

Does the Lucid/JIRA integration not work for JPD?

[Tristan Dexter]

This feature would be amazing!

Something other competing tools have, but would be great to have it without leaving Atlassian :)

I continue to hear this feedback from all our PMs using JPD - having the visual would be a HUGE unlock!

[Marco Borges]

That's exactly what I need right now, and I can't seem to do it.

[Amina Bouabdallah]

Hi there! we don't paint in the JPD UI the relationships that you create through idea links. 

I would love to learn more about your use case though.

Any chance we might speak on the phone? here is the link to book time: https://calendly.com/aminabh/jpd-hierarchies-discovery-call

Looking forward to it!

Dependency mapping (visualizations and metrics) would be great.

[Richard_Donnell]

Thanks for the reply @Amina Bouabdallah , I have scheduled a session to chat. 

[Marco Borges]

Dependency mapping would be great.

[Stephen_Lugton]

@Richard_Donnell at the moment the only way I've found to do this is to link JPD ideas to Jira Software epics with the epics set up to with dependencies between each other and use Advanced Roadmaps to show the dependencies graphically.

[Richard_Donnell]

Hi @Stephen_Lugton I thought about this as well - I used Structure to bring in the Idea tickets, and in the Gantt chart it shows the dependency but not the dates!!!! which is annoying. Plans also can bring all the idea tickets in directly, but again, n date information makes it sketchy.

Do you have some sort of automation to create your shadow-tickets?
