In List View, how to add custom created columns (in jira work management project)

[Ankit Bhandari]

I am currently using a Jira work management project, the project is company managed business project type. We have just recently migrated to Jira and have around 50+ projects associated under this company managed business project type umbrella.

I created 2 custom fields

Also these 2 custom fields are associated with mostly all the screen and projects that i am using.

I am trying to add these custom fields as a column in my project. but i am not getting the option

I was doing research on this and came across this post

https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-Service-Management/Adding-Custom-Fields-to-the-New-List-View-in-Jira/qaq-p/1648403

this person stated it can be done but not stated much detail, i have commented him as well. Also most answers are pointing out to this article

https://support.atlassian.com/jira-work-management/docs/customize-your-list-by-adding-or-removing-fields/

honestly this article is of no help, if anyone has a viable solution and can help, much appreciated

my current plan is standard

Hi Ankit - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Yeah, the article shows which fields are support, but doesn't explicitly say which ones are not. But you can infer that by the ones that are missing. Such as Cascading fields. So, in other words, no Cascading fields are not supported for the List screen yet. 

Here is a the request that you can vote for and follow:

Yeah ChatGPT is not good for a lot of Jira things.

Hi @Ankit Bhandari

welcome to the community.

As already suggested, Cascading Select fields are not currently supported in Jira's list view.

If you're looking for an immediate resolution and are 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. It also comes with a range of advanced features - including support for (configurable) issue hierarchies, issue grouping by any issue field(s), sum-ups, or conditional formatting - and works across any number of projects.

Plus, it supports all custom field types, including Cascading Select fields.

This is how it looks in action:

Any questions just let me know,

Best,

Hannes

Hi @Ankit Bhandari ,

If my understanding is correct that is achievable.

First, go to your project and select the 'List' option. After selecting the 'List' option, you will see a '+' option. Click on '+', scroll down, and you will see the 'Create a new field' option. Select it, create a new field, and add it to the column.

Please find the screenshots for your reference.

NOTE:- Please do accept the answer if it helpful.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi @Armitha Reddy Toorpu Ceema  - you are saying Cascading fields can be added to the list screen? Can you share a screen shot of that after it is added?
