Hi @Kiranped ,

Thanks for your response!

For settings any custom field, it is recommended to include them with the ignoreFields, for them to behave as expected during Clone operations. This is required for setting the custom fields. 

As of now, setting without including in ignoreFields list isn't supported in the app, this has been added to our roadmap. We will review the feasibility and confirm the release plans. We have an existing improvement request https://bobswift.atlassian.net/browse/JCPP-587 with our development team

Please feel free to vote and add yourself as a watcher to the ticket so that you can get all future updates.

If you have any questions, please let us know.

 

Thanks,

Reshma

Hi Reshma,

Any news on the feature request https://bobswift.atlassian.net/browse/JCPP-587? Since we don't have visibility on that project.

It would be useful for us to set defaults for certain fields rather than dictating the values all the time.

Hi @Tony Chung ,

Thanks for reaching out to us!

The feature request is to set custom fields without hiding them on the Clone screen. By the below statement, 

It would be useful for us to set defaults for certain fields rather than dictating the values all the time

I understand you would like to set a default value to the custom fields. This can be achieved using the below 

1.plus.ignoreFields = customfield_10503
1.plus.set.customfield_10503 = QA

However, if your requirement is to show the custom field on the Clone screen, so users can still modify the value, then the same is not possible as the feature request is not yet implemented.

The dev ticket is tracked internally and we are checking with our development team for any ETA. We will get back to you with updates as we receive them.

Thanks,

Reshma

Hi Reshma,

My requirement is indeed to set a default on the Clone screen, and allow users to edit it if they wish, similar to the behaviour of default values in Jira custom fields.

Thanks,

Tony
