I found a couple threads relating to this issue but none of the answers seem to be working...
We have a custom field that has a global context and a issue type specific context. I can not get the column to display in filter results.
If I use this filter - which is the needed one...
issuetype in ("Test Result - Issue") and parent in (MIS-55147, MIS-56248, MIS-58678, MIS-58836, MIS-60922) and created >= 2014-01-16 AND created <= 2014-01-21 ORDER BY Severity ASC
then the 'Severity' column I need will not display at all. It is there if I go to the screen to edit which filds display and there is content in the field.
I have adjusted the filter a few times based on information in the other threads I have found to include the specific field in the filter for example:
issuetype in ("Test Result - Issue") and parent in (MIS-55147, MIS-56248, MIS-58678, MIS-58836, MIS-60922) and created >= 2014-01-16 AND created <= 2014-01-21 and Severity is not EMPTY ORDER BY Severity ASC
Also, I have added the project id as I saw that may help...
project = "IT - Development" and issuetype in ("Test Result - Issue") and parent in (MIS-55147, MIS-56248, MIS-58678, MIS-58836, MIS-60922) and created >= 2014-01-16 AND created <= 2014-01-21 and Severity is not EMPTY ORDER BY Severity ASC
Still no luck. There has to be a way to get this field to display in the results. If i search only the issue type it will display with no problem.
You have answered your own question.
There is a long-standing design flaw in Jira which breaks the issue navigator. When you have a field in the navigator that has anything other than "global" context, then it will only be shown to you when the query is only going to return issues where the field is valid.
So you must say "issuetype in ("Test Result - Issue")", or the query might return issues that the field is not valid for.
If you notice, I am saying 'issuetype in ("Test Result - Issue")' in all of my examples but am still not able to get the field to display. Which is why I posted the question - I have done all the things that "should" be allowing the column display, according to previous posts, and it still isn't so I must be missing something...

Sorry, I didn't see that - tldr.
Can you test two slight modifications to one of the queries (I've used your example verbatim and just added a bit to the first one, so I'm hoping I've not misread it this time)
issuetype in ("Test Result - Issue") and (parent in (MIS-55147, MIS-56248, MIS-58678, MIS-58836, MIS-60922) and created >= 2014-01-16 AND created <= 2014-01-21) ORDER BY Severity ASC
issuetype in ("Test Result - Issue") and created >= 2014-01-16 AND created <= 2014-01-21 ORDER BY Severity ASC
