How do I create a view off of a custom field?

Matt Carano

Hi there!

My marketing team is looking to create a new view off of a custom field and can't figure out how to do it. Right now the calendar view shows "due date". We created a custom filed for "Go live date", when marketing content is scheduled to post. We'd like to create a view off this date, which will give us a content calendar.

The "Create A Board View" doesn't appear to work for these purposes. Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Hi Matt - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

You can't add custom fields and have the calendar be dependent on them. You can add the custom fields and then create an automation rule that copies the value to the Due Date or End fields, but you must use one or both of them for the calendar view.

Thanks for your reply John!

The use case is that we want to be able to see both when things are due, and when things are scheduled to go live. And to be able to create a sort or view off of each one. Is there a way to do that in Jira?

I'm not sure I understood this correctly, but if the "end" field is something we can create a view off of, does it make sense to just use that instead of a custom field?

Thanks again!

Matt

You could probably use the Start Date for one and the Due Date for the other. But that is as close as you will get I think.

Matt Carano

Thanks John, if we did that, is it possible to create a separate views: one that's start date, and one that's due date?

I'm not seeing that as a filter option where you can select just one and not the other.

Appreciate the help!
