Hi ,

In 2 dimensional statistics, I am not able to select the " issuekey " and " summary" in x axis and y axis ?
Is this the expected behaviour? if yes why ?
OR am I doing anything wrong ?

The 2 Dimensional Gadget is designed to generate a table of issues based on 2 specific fields, with a fixed set of values.

The "Filter" is used to select the issues that will be in scope. (ie only open issues in a particular project)

The X and Y fields are the two fields you want to generate the table for. Those two fields have to be fields with a fixed set of values. (ie not freeform text fields)

For for example if you picked "Assignee" as your X field, and "Priority" as your Y, you would get a chart where each box represents the number of issues for that assignee for that priority.

Example

	Low	Medium	High
John	2	4	9
Debbie	5	8	5
Sam	3	6	3

This chart can tell you that John has 9 high priority tickets assigned to him (I bolded the 9 so you can see where I am looking). You could then click on the 9 to get to an issue search screen set to show only those issues.

So using issue key and description as your X and Y don't make any sense for this gadget. You want the results to be a list of issues, so issue key makes no sense. And Description is not a fixed value field. so it would not be possible to count a number of issues from it.

It sounds like you are trying to see something in your dashboard. If you explain what you are looking for, someone may be able to suggest the right gadget to visualize it.

hi @Aswathi D ,

That is expected behavior. Might I inquire as to your goal? I am struggling to understand a two dimensional table with the issue key or summary used on either axis.

Putting summary up there would be gnarly. If somebody used the max length on the summary (255 characters, I think) the graph would be unreadable.
