Is it possible to add to the predefined overview section in JIRA

Adam Grace March 13, 2014

I have a producer that wants to have a Milestone version picker, like the pre-defined version picker in JIRA 6, that lets you in put all the versions in JIRA ahead of time on the overview admin page and then have them selectable in the Bug form. The producer wants to have this same function with "milestones", but hasn't been able to achieve this with custom fields alone.

Is there a way to copy the Verson Picker fuction and apply it to the Milestone design? Also, could this be done per project rather than across the board?

Thanks for any help in advance.

A Grace

If you have a developer with some java and velocity knowledge you could very easily add a new customfieldtype along with some web-panels to add the tabs to the admin overview. https://developer.atlassian.com/display/JIRADEV/Creating+a+Custom+Field+Type

Adding Web fragment to the project config pages: https://developer.atlassian.com/display/JIRADEV/Project+Configuration+Locations

Without going that route a quick and simple fix would be to add a new custom field, use the "Version" field type. Then its up to the team to know that versions like 1.0-m5 are milestones, and 1.0 isnt...
