Add custom field of type freetextfield with jelly

[Michael Danielsson]

Is it possible to add a custom field of type freetextfield with jelly ?

Yes, using code like this:

<jira:CreateCustomField fieldType="textarea" fieldName="Business Case" 
   description="Please provide relevant background information and/or rationale." 
   searcher="textsearcher" fieldScope="project" projectKey="JAR"/>

BTW, I found this list helpful to keep around... compiled by going to the Plugins page and looking at modules in the Custom Field Types & Searchers plugin:

JIRA 5.2 and selectsearcher is not shown as a valid searcher for the select field type. Creating a select field only offers one searcher - the multiselect one
