How to make a field based on list of values and make it appear it as a Drop Down on Dashboard?

Raghavendra kaushik March 21, 2023

Hi,

I have a custom Text field as "PO/POD" in my story. I want it to based on some list of values. example: "O2C", "ABS" etc.

Then from from My Dashboard,I would like use it as a drop-down feature to filter the values rather as text field.

I am using a Jira on Premise version. Any help here would be appreciated.

 

Thanks

@Raghavendra kaushik ,

 

You can't without an add-on as far as I'm aware of. 

 

The Field should be a drop down. In order for the dashboard to have quick filter like this based on a drop down set of values, you'll need an add-on. There's plenty of add-on out there for example....Rich Filters.

Hi @Raghavendra kaushik 

 

First, you will need to look into purchasing an rich filter add-on since this feature is not out of the box. 

 

To use rich filters, here is the documentation. 

 

https://wiki.qotilabs.com/rich-filters-cloud

 

There are other add-ons as well. So, I would recommend to try this add-on first and then try other add-ons similar as well. Then choose which add-on best fits for your company. 

 

First step is to create the custom field as a drop down. 

Second is to create a filter from rich filter and apply as a controller for your dashboard. This is part of the documentation link provided above.
