Advice on new issue view please - checkboxes and help info Edited

[Liz O-Connor]

Hi all,

I'm trying to configure some fields in the new issue view.  In the old view this would have been several checkboxes in a tab.  However, in the new view checkboxes are displayed as labels, and the values are too wide so the user will never be able to see what they're selecting.  They don't even display when you hover over the truncated value.

I have two questions with this:

1. What custom field should I use in the new issue view to give the user the ability to say these things are done?
2. How can I add "help" to the tab?  The kind of thing that used to be displayed in the edit screen (from the field description).  I need to give users a link to a confluence page with the guidance on what the things mean.

Any suggestions welcome!

Thanks,

Liz
