JIRA: customize Issue details panel

[Ioannis OIKONOMOU]

Hello,

I am using JIRA v4.1.2 and let's say that I have created a custom field "customfield_10370".

I know that by associating this custom field to the "Default Screen" for example, the field will automatically appear in the Issue details panel of every Issue. However I cannot configure the exact position that the field will be displayed on the panel.

Is there some way to do that?

For now, to overcome this problem, I decided to adapt the velocity template "issuesummaryblock.vm" under "C:\Program Files\Atlassian\JIRA 4.1.2\atlassian-jira\WEB-INF\classes\templates\jira\issue\summary", by adding the following block to the position that I want to have the custom field displayed, and without of course associating the custom field to the "Default Screen" anymore:

#set ($fixedversion=$customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject("customfield_10370"))
#if ($fixedversion.isInScope($issue.getProjectObject(), null))
  #if ($fieldVisibility.isFieldHidden("customfield_10370", $issue) == false)
    <li class="item item-right">
        <div class="wrap">
            <strong class="name">$i18n.getText("$fixedversion.name"):</strong>
            <span id="fixedversion-val" class="value">
                #set ($fixedversionval=$fixedversion.getValue($issue))
                #if ($fixedversionval)
                    <span class="shorten" id="fixedversion-field">
                        #foreach ($v in $fixedversionval)
                            <a href="${baseurl}/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?reset=true&mode=hide&sorter/order=ASC&sorter/field=priority&pid=${issue.projectObject.key}&customfield_10370=${v.id}" title="$textutils.htmlEncode($v.name) $!textutils.htmlEncode($!v.description)">$textutils.htmlEncode($v.name)</a>#if( $velocityCount < $fixedversionval.size() ),#end
                        #end
                    </span>
                #else
                    $i18n.getText('common.words.none')
                #end
            </span>
        </div>
    </li>
  #end
#end

Thank you,

In Jira privious to version 5 you can edit the issuessummaryblock.vm and add something like this (worked for us):

#if ($fieldVisibility.isFieldHidden('customfield_XXXXXX', $issue) == false)
#set ($customfield=$customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject('customfield_XXXXX'))
<li class="item item-right">
<div class="wrap">
<strong class="name">$i18n.getText($customfield.name):</strong>
<span id="solution-val" class="value">
#if ($customfield.hasValue($issue))
#set($myvalue=$issue.getCustomFieldValue($customfield))
$i18n.getText($myvalue)
#else
$i18n.getText('common.words.none')
#end
</span>
</div>
</li>
#end

Does anyone know how this will work in Jira 5 and above as the file does not exist anymore?!

Hi,

try write javascript code into your CF description field, that will be change target destination. It should be possible.

[Ioannis OIKONOMOU]

No, it isn't the same logic. See also the attached screenshot to understand what I mean.

Thanks,

Isn't it the same logic appears for viewing the issue as per your Issue Type Screen Scheme settings with your customized screen mapped to the 'View' operation?

[Ioannis OIKONOMOU]

I want the fields to appear in an ordered way when VIEWING the issue. When editing the issue this is not a problem because you can define the order when designing the screen. See also the attached screenshot.

Thanks,

Ioannis

Is it that you want to order the fields while viewing/editing the issue? Isn't the ordering of fields in the screen sufficient for the same?
