JIRA how to display objects in different names in UI?

Zhiyong Liu
Zhiyong Liu May 17, 2017

As a developer, I added statuses, transitions and custom fields to JIRA and these objects are sometimes referenced by the Java or Groovy Code. Although all the users of this JIRA use English, they sometimes ask to change the object names to be more user friendly. How can I easily change the display of those objects (status, transition and custom field) without changing their names (so I don't need to change my Java or groovy code)?

Hi @Zhiyong Liu ,

my suggestion is to reference items in your code using id and not name. In that way you will be able to change name withouth impacting your code.
