How can I add labels to transition screens in Jira?

Mark McD

I'm displaying a custom screen when transitioning a workflow in Jira & have added an 'attachment' field. I'd like to also add a label field above the attachment field to explain what is expected of the attachment.

Is there a custom field I can add that is simply a spanning row of configurable text? Is there a better way of doing this?

Colin is right about the Jira Toolkit, it has two "message" fields. One for Edit, and another for View. On a transition screen, you want to use "edit", even if you're only displaying something, because the name refers to the context the field appears in, and transitions are an "edit" in that sense. They can be rather powerful too, as you can use velocity in them to do processing and generate dynamic html (e.g. put an estimate progress bar on a transition screen)

I think it's the JIRA Toolkit plugin which has various readonly message custom fields that you can use to display HTML and even velocity markup. You can then show that field in the appropriate place on the workflow screen

Brilliant - that was right in front of me the whole time. Accepting this answer as it clearly points out that "message" is the field to use.

I tried that custom field too (read only), but it does nothing. I tried putting it in the view screen, edit screen, nothing worked.
