How Can I add Share field in portal at time of ticket creation?

Hi @darshil trivedi the "Share with" field you're describing is used for sharing with the customer's organization. To ensure that field is visible in the portal during issue creation the customer must be added to the organization. 

For the user(s) you're troubleshooting this for follow these steps to check if they've been added to a customer organization.

1. Navigate to your project.
2. Under Channels & People click on Customers.
3. Click on the organization the customer should belong to.
4. Verify they've been added, or add them if they haven't.

@darshil trivedi -

To supplement what @Stephen Wright _Elabor8_ and @Dave Mathijs stated, the ability to share your issues is already there out of the box.  However, you will have to configure it for your env and projects.

Once an issue is created, the reporter of the issues can add requested participants to his/her issues.

Here are the two areas that you need to check in your configurations -

1) Under https://<your based>.atlassian.net/jira/settings/products/jira-service-management-configuration UI,  check "Yes" option

2) Under each project's Customer permission UI - (Project settings >> Customer permissions) within the "Customer sharing" section, check the option below -

Hope this helps.

Hi @darshil trivedi 

What do you need the "Share With" button to do?

Is it to share the Ticket with other internal users? If yes, by default you can add Request Participants through the help center, but this is done after the ticket is created.

See more information on this help page - Add request participants through the help center

If the above is what you want to do, but do it pre-ticket creation, there's a partial workaround...

1. Create a custom field, type User Picker (multiple users)
2. Add this to the Request Form
3. Create an Automation rule to add the users from the custom field to "Request Participants" after the issue is created

There is a limitation though, that the custom field will only allow you to enter users or customers already added to the Service Project - not just any email address.

---

For clarity, I tested this - and this is the rule I used. I called the custom field "Share With":

• Trigger: Issue Created
• Condition: Issue Fields Condition
  • Field = Share With
  • Condition = is not empty
• Action: Edit Issue
  • Field = Request Participants
  • Rule = COPY FROM - Share With, Current Issue

Let us know your thoughts!

Hi @darshil trivedi 

Just adding to this, as there's various options/answers on this question, there is a help page which details the differences between:

• Share With (on request form)
• Share With+ (on the customer portal post-creation)

See this page: https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/share-with-button-differences-and-behaviors-on-jsm-portal-1188784642.html

Depending on which one you are referring to, will depend on which answer will work for you :)

Hi, I believe this can only be done by creating a custom field type email and have the entered value copied to the request participant after issue creation using an automation rule.

I too wish one could simply have the Request participant field available during issue creation.

Unfortunately, all of the submitted JSDCLOUD suggestions made are either closed or are not being considered.

I mean Share with I  it is possible to do add share with field which is help to share ticket within organisation 

[Dave Mathijs]

For that to be enabled, you need to create an organisation and add all users as member.
