I am extending another plugin with custom fields and I am trying to just stick a bunch of 256 character hashes into each issue. Looking in the docs I see that StringCFType seems to be the most appropriate to me but the person that previously worked on this project also has another custom field that uses TextCFType instead. I am wondering which one is more appropriate for my purpose and, in general, what problems each was meant to solve. Thankyou for your time.

What is the purpose of TextCFType over StringCFType?

"Hide completed issues older than" setting on Jira Software Kanban Boards

Can anyone say definitively what this setting does? Does it:

Hide issues from the board when there has been no activity on them for more than X weeks and they are in the right-most column?
Hide issues from the board when there has been no activity on them for more than X weeks and they have a resolution set?
Hide issues from the board when there has been no activity on them for more than X weeks and they have both a resolution set and are in the right-most column?

I discovered the primary difference. StringCFType is abstract and TextCFType is not. You need to use TextCFType if you actually want to put anything into your custom field.
