add "due date" column in sub-task list, for some projects only. Edited

[Sam]

I would like to add a due date column to sub-tasks list so I can compare dates for parent and sub-tasks. I don't want this change to be global. I need it for some projects only.

What is the best way to achieve this?

You will need to hack the core code in Jira that displays the sub-task panel.  There's no function to support "only show field in some places" in the core, it is an all-or-nothing setting.

Or you can use the Issue Matrix plugin.

This article here provided a great method of adding columns to the view:  https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-questions/Add-column-to-list-of-Sub-Tasks/qaq-p/38554

We're on JSD Server: v8.8.0#808000

Not sure if this will be of any use in your scenario.

I can add system fields, but not custom fields currently.  

Good luck.
