Create a new view on every group is not clean looking

[Chris Timms]

Hello, JPD!

I have a JPD project set up with several views, organised into different sections. There is a 'Create new view' link at the bottom of the section list, and one on each of the sections when they are expanded.

To me, these are unnecessary actions to include so visibly in the section/list structure, as it is really easy to create a view and click/drag it to the appropriate section. It also makes scanning the list a little trickier to do when working at pace

Solution considerations:

1. Remove all but the final "+ Create New View" button and click/drag into the appropriate section

2.Add "+ Create New View" to the section context menu instead.

Regards,

Hi @Mari-Ann Eriksen ,

I believe you need to escape the quotations so it might be something like this:

{
"fields": {
"customfield_10034":"{\"start\":\"2021-04-01\",\"end\":\"2021-04-01\"}"
}
}

Thank you! This update did not fail, so now I can at least get the field populated 

[Mari-Ann Eriksen]

In fact, having this correct JSON solved the whole problem. I was then able to fetch the data from the text field into the JPD date field

{
"fields": {
"customfield_10154":"{\"start\":\"{{issue.customfield_10147}}\",\"end\":\"{{issue.customfield_10147}}\"}"
}
}

Thanks for your help!

Hello

And with today's date:

{
"fields": {
"customfield_10154":"{\"start\":\"{{now.format("yyyy-MM-dd")}}\",\"end\":\"{{now.format("yyyy-MM-dd")}}\"}"
}
}

Thank you for this! I am trying to use the JSON, but runnign into issues.
 My usecase is that I created a manual Date field. Whenever the status is updated, I want to record the time it was moved. Then, I can use this field later on to see which ideas have been in the same status for awhile.
I am using @Thierry BLOCH 's json (of course subbing out my customfield ID for the ID that mine is) but I get an error. Any suggestions?

Hi Louise

Maybe check your date format?

Hi @Mari-Ann Eriksen would the feature described in this Community Post solve your problem if Reported date was one of the supported fields? Are you using a Company-managed project or a Team-managed project?

[Mari-Ann Eriksen]

Hi, No, it would not solve the problem, as the Jira issue I am fetching the date from is the clone of the idea and not a delivery ticket. And I will remove the link (cloned by) once I have managed to get all data over to JDP.
