Custom Field: Project Category

[Davor Fisher]

I am building reports in JIRA  and I am looking to include project category as a column in order for end users to better understand where the issues in reports are located in; I could add the projects as a column, but that wouldn't make sense for end users who will be looking at the reports as most of projects are custom named by teams in JIRA.

Could it be possible to build a custom groovy field that will look at the project category and place it on the single/multi line custom field?

Yup, there's a one liner if you're happy with simple text for the field.  Create a scripted field, and give it:

return issue.getProjectObject().getProjectCategoryObject().getName()
