Dear Community,
I would like to make a custom field, which doesn't appear on the project screens, but the actual content I would like to see in reports.
This field is fill by an automation, I write #status and a description as comment, and what I've written after #status appear in this field. I wouldn't like to see it on the screen, just in reports.
Is it possible to solve somehow?
Thank you very much!

Hi @Beyer Gertrud

Yes, Gertrud, your requirement can be addressed in Jira Work Management with a combination of configurations and automation. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to achieve this:
Create a Custom Field:
Adjust Field Configuration to Hide the Field from Screens:
Automate to Populate the Field:
#status
(you can use the Advanced compare condition to inspect the comment body).#status
from the comment. The smart value might look something like {{issue.comments.last.body.split("#status").last.trim()}}
, depending on how you want to parse the comment.Accessing the Field in Reports:
project = YOURPROJECTKEY AND "Hidden Status" IS NOT EMPTY

HI @Beyer Gertrud ,
It might be just simply possible to remove them from the screen scheme, so they don't show up on the Issue screens. Then just pull up reports and JQLs for the data.
There's a hide option through the field configuration but that will will remove the field entirely from search.
Hope this helps.
