Meaningful queue headings

[iain mackenzie]

To make them easily identifiable, I use a naming convention for my custom fields: "BQ_FieldName". Is it possible to give it a meaningful name for the Queue column heading?

Hi @iain mackenzie , not sure I follow. The column heading in Queues is the field name and you cannot change that behavior.

OK thanks.  That's what I was hoping to do - to give it a meaningful name whilst preserving my naming convention

Hi @iain mackenzie

to the best of my knowledge, queues can't do that.

However if you're open to solutions from the Atlassian Marketplace, you may want to have a look at the app that my team and I are working on: JXL for Jira.

JXL is a full-fledged spreadsheet/table view for your issues that allows viewing, inline-editing, sorting, and filtering by all your issue fields, much like you’d do in e.g. Excel or Google Sheets. Sheets in JXL are fully customisable: Not only can you control which fields are shown, you can also change the column heading.

This is how it looks in action:

As every JXL sheet is powered by a JQL statement, so you can easily model queues through JXL sheets - many of our customers already do so. Another advantage is that JXL would allow cross-project queues, if that's something that might be relevant to you.

Any questions just let me know,

Best,

Hannes
