Currently using a trial version of JIRA 4.4 and would like to know if it is possible to display fields with NULL values when viewing a task/sub-tasks. I am able to see the field only in Edit mode. A possible workaround to have the field configured so that it has a default value; however, I would like not to have a default value be put in place.

I checked out some previous threads on this same topic but it looks like it was only addressed in previous 3.x versions of JIRA.

Thanks,

I am also searching for this. Why is it that no one can say how to accomplish this in 4.x and newer? There is a a view_customfields.jsp which takes care of part of it, but this is not complete, since if I change this and take out the test for whether the custom field is empty, I get a java null exception when, for example, I click create and want to see all fields displayed in the resulting view.

It appears that the new FieldScreenRendererImpl.class no longer contains a comparable test. It must be accomplished elsewhere but don't know where. Someone with the expertise, please help.

You might need to edit the corresponding VM's for the CustomField type (Resource type="view" in system-customfieldtypes-plugin.xml)
