custom field not available after renaming

Celik Vedat January 5, 2018

dear all,

i've renamed a field from "Participants (Beteiligte)" into "Participants". Now none of my filters is working because I get following error:

 

screen_participants_error.PNGiI did NOT chnage anything else like screen or field configs. I can even see the Field Participants and its value in my issue view..

Anyone had the same error once ?

 

kr,

vedat

Hi Vedat,

You'll have to update the filters to use the new custom field name.

thats what i've done. I've updated the fields name within my filters. I still get the error that the field does not exist. doesn't matter if I try it with "Participants(Beteiligte)" or "Participants".

Have you reindexed JIRA after the change?

Maybe you renamed the Field from "Participants (Beteiligte)" to "Participants " (with a space at the end)?

Celik Vedat January 5, 2018

I started a re-index, it will take a while... :D

 

@Udo Brand

i did not because i would show me participants in the search after I tipe "part...."

@edwin

Re-Index did not help.. any further possibilities?

 

I can choose the field in my filter when I set the columns for my report. But if I want to filter, it says that there isn't such a field called "Participants"...

When you renamed the field, could you have changed the searcher for it accidentally?

Celik Vedat January 8, 2018

I dont think so. Where can I configure the searcher settings?

Go back to admin -> custom fields -> <participants> -> Edit, where you changed the name of the field.  The searcher should be selectable below.  Check that there is one, the field might say "none" if there is nothing selected.
